Clarinet Lessons Arkansas

Instruments: Saxophone, Clarinet, Music

I believe that there is no one method you can use for every student. Method books can be useful but I try not to rely on them because I always found them boring if overused. I try to build lessons around styles of music that the student is interested in. It's always a balancing act trying to find the music for each student. The trick is to find music that is challenging enough for them to learn from playing it, interesting enough for them to want to pick their instrument up and practice, but not too challenging that they'll get frustrated with it.

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons 13 years ago. I have taught students from 5th grade and older. I encourage regular practice on a consistent schedule to help the student progress and gain a passion for their instruments. For years, I only taught clarinet. I have recently began to teach other instruments like piano, saxophone, and possible other instruments with some preparation. Read More

I began teaching music in 2010 as a high school senior. I quickly began to love it and decided to make it my career. I have taught K-12 grade music as well as a private clarinet and saxophone studio before realizing that I wanted to get back to performing and growing my studio. I moved to Fayetteville and started my masters at the University of Arkansas. I have performed with the Hutchinson Community Band, Lindsborg Community Band, Lindsborg Community Orchestra, Christian Youth Theatre of Wichita, Hutchinson Community Theatre, Dodge City Cowboy Band and many more college level ensembles.

My methods of teaching change with each student. All individuals learn differently. I start by seeing where each individual is and how they react to the material. We first learn basics and move as fast as the individual can or wants to. I want all my students to play pieces by themselves and with others (not just the same instruments). Im always wanting my students to be a well rounded individual in music and in life. Read More

I am primarily a classical clarinetist, as I have a lot of experience in varying types of ensembles and solo work. Read More
