OK, so who is Clinton L? First let me say that I am a person who loves music and loves to teach! I was very lucky in that my father was a musician. His main instrument was the Steel Guitar but he played just about every instrument except drums. That is how I kind of got my start and I followed in his footsteps.

I started banging on the drums when I was 8 years old. When I was a sophomore in High School I joined the Stage Band as well as starting a combo. I actually did my first professional gig when I was 13. Our stage band won numerous awards. It was an honor to have had the opportunity to contribute to that success. I was also fortunate enough to celebrate a few outstanding musician awards along the way.

After high school, it was off to NTSU, now UNT. I was lucky enough to get a scholarship and attended UNT for over six years. It was then that I began private teaching.

Now I am a full time musician and teacher. I believe one of my biggest strengths is the...

I have been seen all across the DFW area because of one thing... My skill!!! I am currently endorsed by Spaun Drum Company as well as Silver Fox drumsticks! I am ready to give you what it takes to live your musical dream. I have played and performed many shows as well as competed in many music events. I have the right skill to make your dream a reality and I want to see you succeed in the same way! If you want to learn any instrument and then rock faces off I'm your guy. I can teach all styles of music from jazz to metal.

The one thing I love about teaching is seeing the student actually get it! There will be so many hours put into learning there instrument and let me tell you, it gets frustrating for the student.. But when that student actually gets the fundamentals of there instrument, I feel like I have done my job. I love music because you can communicate through it. You decide what you want it to say, my job is to teach you HOW to communicate...

I am SUPER excited to...

I teach my students how to understand how music is put together so they can learn even more on their own.

I read, write, and play all styles and I focus on teaching the student fundamentals that work in all styles of music ....AND I get them going on the style they are interested in - pop, rock, country, folk, etc.

I have spent my entire life in the music industry and I can show you how to use what I teach to apply to the real world. I have also been a successful songwriter and I can work with students to learn about song structure and song writing.

I am also good at preparing students for college music classes.

I started playing recognizable melodies on the piano at 18 months old. At that time I was told that I even had perfect pitch. By age 5, my mother started giving me classical, gospel, and improvisational lessons. I was one of her 50 students until my senior year in high school. Through elementary, junior high, and high school, I received a lot of performance experience from school marching/concert bands, choirs, church choirs, piano concerts, band/choral conducting, and composing.

I received my BBA in Finance from the University of Texas at Arlington; through college and to the present, I have received over 25 years of performing/directing experience from overseeing two mega-church music ministries. At these ministries, I served as the department head, responsible for lead piano, directing, arranging, worship leading, and departmental oversight.

I have produced 7 personal instrumental projects, and I have produced and recorded over 40 projects for other local, regional,...
