Woodland Hills, CA Clarinet Lessons

I have taught clarinet in schools for the past 35 years and have led several bands that have featured outstanding clarinet players.

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

I've been teaching clarinet for five years now. I specialize in getting beginners started with good habits. Proper embouchure and hand position make all the difference in the world in how well a clarinet player will do as they advance. It's MUCH easier to build good technique from the start than to try to go back and break bad habits, so let's get started on the right foot!

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.

Fun, energetic learning! An environment that is patient, yet still pushes the student to their full potential at that time. Regardless of level, attention to the development of fundamentals is always priority. This is addressed through study from standard etude and scale practice books (Rose, Baermann, Uhl, Jean-Jean, Rubank, Hite). Repertoire can range from beginning pop tunes, to more advanced standard repertoire for the advanced students.

As a professional musician with 15 years of performing and teaching experience, I will get you started with the proper foundation.

Teaching clarinet for all levels of players. Focused on techniques and control of the instrument. Come learn and you will be able to play clarinet with ease and freedom.

Within as little as three months, students will know how to read at a beginner's level, focus on song/piece memorization, and recalling note fingerings. After three months, student will be introduced to basic music theory and the importance of key concepts such as key signatures, accidentals, and uncommon time signatures. Depending on how much time the student devotes to studying music outside of tutoring sessions, they will develop a clear sense of performance repertoire and intonation as well.

I have played clarinet for 10 years and currently play clarinet in an ensemble at UCSB. I will ensure that students learn proper techniques, sight reading, and some theory all while having fun playing their favorite songs!
