Clarinet Lessons Washington

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

My approach to all my students, children and adults alike, takes on a friendly, casual appearance while at the same time utilizing my classical and technical training. I believe music is the most joyous of all "subjects" to study and my greatest desire is for my students to learn a lot while feeling the joy that music provides. Having said that, studying with me will be fun, detailed, technical and productive. Read More

My motto is my students create their own lesson. I formulate lesson plans off of the styles of music you are most interested in. If my student has a more "just for fun" attitude, the lesson will inevitably be a more light hearted feel. If the student would like to focus on more technicalities, that as well is a different approach. However, I do have a more structured plan for younger students. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet, Trombone, Clarinet, Drums, Mallet Percussion, Conga, Latin Percussion, Djembe

My teaching style is laid back and technical. I like to go at the pace of the student and really make sure technique is perfect. With good technique you set yourself up for success and develop good habits from the start. I can't tell you how many times I've seen students, even in college, dramatically improve their sound with just a simple posture change. Once technique is handled, the doors to all genres of music are open. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Clarinet, Bass Guitar, Organ, Ukulele, Mandolin, Recorder, Double Bass, Keyboard, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

In my teaching style I have specific skills in technique, literacy and interpretation that I believe are important; these are drawn from traditional classical values and the folk elements I learned between ages fifteen and twenty-five. After addressing performance practice in these areas I like to bring the students interests and inclinations in and use the afore-mentioned aspects to help them achieve skills to play music in their individual voice.
