Clarinet Lessons in San Diego, CA. Amazing Teachers.

Using method books teach various techniques to learning to properly play instrument.

Learning to play the clarinet can be an immensely fun and rewarding experience! As a teacher, it is my goal to share my love for music with my students so they too can develop a passion for it. In my lessons I provide students with strong fundamental musical skills necessary to become a successful clarinetist. Furthermore, I believe that if I can teach my students to analyze their playing like I analyze my own, they will become motivated self teachers and life-long learners.

Inspiring students through private instrumental music lessons for clarinet, saxophone, flute, guitar, bass guitar, ukulele, and piano.

I am dedicated to helping students improve on their instrument and work toward their own personal goals. All ages and all levels are welcome. I think it is important to build on a foundation of technique, sight reading, and music theory, but also have fun in the process. I have a BM in Clarinet Performance from the University of Puget Sound and a MM in Clarinet Performance from California State University, Fullerton.

Not only do I know how to play all instruments in the clarinet family, but I repaired them for 21 years, so I know the technical side of how the instrument really works, and can quickly diagnose whether an issue is with the player or with the instrument. This is something I am passionate about - having a properly working instrument. I can even offer discounted repairs if the student is within shipping or driving range.

Besides that, I believe making music should be fun! I will choose much of the music with the student so not only is the fun factor going to be high, but the learning factor will be high as well.

I will find repertoire that is best suited for you, and prepare you for college level playing. I will teach basics like fingerings all the way up to advanced techniques like altissimo and orchestral excerpts
