Music Lessons in Corbett, OR

Instruments: Clarinet

I'm a Portland native who firmly believes that music is a lifelong pursuit. Whether playing music for fun, school, or even competition, there's always something new to learn and experience. My music adventures began with piano lessons, then switched to the clarinet when the first band was formed at my elementary school. Little did I know i'd still be playing and having as much fun as when I first started. Read More

Each lesson is spent listening to the work they have done and music theory, of course. Each week the student will be assigned a task to complete.  For adults, it very much depends on what the student already knows, what they want to learn and how much experience they have. Read More
