Clarinet Lessons Kansas

Instruments: Saxophone, Clarinet

I believe that students move at their own pace, especially when it comes to instruments. What may come easily to one student may not be as simple for another. I believe working on fundamentals and mastering those on the chosen instruments is the most important thing for any level of player.

Instruments: Piano, Saxophone, Clarinet, Oboe, English Horn

For piano students, I like to use the Alfred method books with supplemented music that peeks their interest. I like these books because they have several series depending on the age of the student and their interests such as music theory and broadway hits.-For woodwind students, I like to work for a few weeks out of their band books so I can assess their strengths and weaknesses. From there I will assign the appropriate method book; typically from the Rubank series. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Trumpet, Flute, Clarinet, Synthesizer, Recorder, Oboe, Music, Keyboard

I want to slowly guide you and I want you to hear what it sounds like personally rather than never hearing yourself.

Instruments: Guitar, Flute, Clarinet, Ukulele, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

My teaching experience began while I was in college taking music education coursework and working as a music tutor for a local middle school band program. After graduating in 2013 I have taught more than 300 hours of private music lessons to students of all ages. I have also taught group music lessons, K-6 general music and choir for a homeschool music program in addition to music theory lessons. I love puzzling out how to relate to each student in the way that best helps them progress towards their musical goals! Read More
