I use a variety of clarinet method books based on my current professional library. I also order based on student need. Method books are selected based on the students ability.

My teaching style is very analytical yet engaging! I try to establish a good relationship before pushing a student. At that point I will ask the student to play to the best of his/her ability.

I also do a lot of ear training and music theory to ensure that students are obtaining well-rounded musical skills. Read More

My methods vary between each student. For beginning students, that are not learning in a school setting, I typlically start with Hal Lenard's Essential Elements For Band.

This will encourage the student's passion for music to grow. If the student is in a school setting, then the student will work on all of the music for school and solo repetoire. Read More
