For the Clarinet, I typically use The Hendrickson Method book series with supplemental books on the side to enhance their various levels.  For flute and saxophone, I will evaluate based on the student's level.

We will use some apps and technology for skill building along with listening and ear training to build a well-rounded foundation. Read More
