I have been tutoring since I was 12. I started out giving chess lessons to elementary students, then started teaching clarinet in 2019.

For beginner students, I use a variety of lesson materials. If the student is involved in band, I try to stick with whatever book their teacher has assigned them. In Seattle Public Schools, we use Standard of Excellence. I also add other materials as the student advances such as scales, etudes, and finger and rhythm exercises. Adding in music the student finds exciting also helps them feel more encouraged to practice! Read More
