Clarinet Lessons in Cerritos. Amazing Teachers.

I work with the student to develop a curriculum based on their musical interests and my own teaching pedagogy. I strongly feel that for musicians to own their education, they must have a say in what they play. Assigning method books and mindless etudes to practice doesn't have nearly the same effect asking them "Ok, what kind of music do YOU like? What do you want to PLAY? What do you want to LEARN?".

I believe that students learn best when they are invested in a subject, and the best way to get them invested is to individually get to know each one, speak to them on their level, and get them playing music they're interested in.

My teaching starts with a good foundation for sound and technique and expands to teach music that is fin and inspiring to each individual student. If the student would like to learn to play jazz, I have a method which will shaves off years of hard work and frustration. All my teaching is geared towards giving the student good basics along with a practical application to today's music scene.

I really love catering lessons in a unique and diverse way to every individual student because every player has a different style and process for learning. My favorite part of teaching is trying to deliver a "light bulb" moment to a students, or the moment when they finally understand a concept and enjoy doing so.

We go over correct air support, embouchure, correct hand placement etc.

I have been teaching over sixteen years.

I tailor each individual lesson to that persons goals, needs, wants, and styles.

My goal is to learn music the fun way. Along the way we'll learn theory, chords, scales, ear training, composition, reading music, tempo etc

Clarinet is my primary instrument. I can help beginners get started or coach advanced students who are preparing for auditions.
