I have done some one on one help on Clarinet to teach some more advanced rhythms within the music. Students a pushed to excel and practice so there is never a growth gap in the musicianship of the student. Although students learn at different rates, since being a musician is skill, my goal is to help the student become the best version of themselves just like I had growing up. My students are encouraged to enter competitions and excel to make regional bands as well as work on composing their own original material, so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn.

For starting students, Start with learning how to blow air without the instrument. Once that has been achieved, the next step is to blow into the instruments mouthpiece and add pieces of the Clarinet as you go. Then we will move to learning note names and values, along with rests and some fingerings for the instrument. Then after that we will start learning key signatures and scales along with some very easy sight reading pieces, to get adjusted to reading music and moving fingers. Then we will advance and make each lesson harder to push you to be your best version of you.
