Manchester, CT Clarinet Lessons

I took up clarinet as a double to clarinet and have been studying it for about 2 years.

Instruction for all ages and ability levels on all saxophones, clarinets, and flutes.

As a performer I have played clarinet in various settings, musicals, jazz band, classical, and can therefore teach a variety of styles. In lessons we will cover basic music fundamentals but also work toward your personal goals. I believe it is important to find what makes music special to each student. Lessons should be fun and engaging! My students have auditioned successfully into regional bands and select bands at school every year. But we also play top 40 tunes or whatever interests them most.

Puerto Rican Clarinetist, instructor and Army Veteran with a proven record in excellence both as a private instructor and as a performer. Mr Flores has played as principal clarinet in world renowned venues like the Soul Art Center, Nihon Budokan and the Hyogo Performing Arts Centers.

Need help making the first sound on clarinet? Auditioning for university music schools? I can help you achieve your clarinet goals! We'll focus on your goals, address areas of concern, and improve your clarinet skills to make music even more enjoyable.

I've been playing the clarinet for 15 years and teaching private lessons for one year. I have loved helping my students improve their tone quality, technique, and rhythm on the clarinet. My students have developed a passion for music and become more advanced on the clarinet by taking lessons with me. I use rhythm, technique, and tonal quality exercises, and a specialized program to teach simple to advanced rhythm. I'll share the "tricks of the trade" to help you master difficult music with ease.

My lessons embody the values of music itself - it lets you be expressive and creative, but it also requires precision, self-discipline, communication skills, the ability to plan ahead – music education gives people the tools they need to succeed in all parts of life! An accomplished player and teacher, I offer lessons to any and all experience levels and ages in clarinet. For beginners specifically, my curriculum includes basic music theory and sight-singing skills, though these topics can be applied across all skill levels.

I love motivating my students to achieve their own goals, realize their potential, and find happiness in music. I hold degrees from Manhattan School of Music and Oberlin Conservatory, and I'm happy to travel for lessons. Individuals and groups of all ages are welcome!

I love teaching woodwinds and sharing my passion for music with my students. I have been teaching students from five to fifty-two for almost six years. I hope we can work together soon!

As a performer I have toured all across North America, Europe, South America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia and earned awards from organizations including Downbeat Jazz Magazine, the US Embassy and the Frank Huntington Beebe Fund.
