Clarinet Lessons in Georgetown. Amazing Teachers.

Clarinet is fun instrument to play, and I will help you get the most out of your learning. As a clarinet student, you will master the range, tone, and technique necessary to become a good clarinet player.

For beginner students, learning will start from opening your case for the first time and progress all the way to playing your first melodies. Beginning students are first taught how to blow across the reed to make a sound on the clarinet before moving on to other basics, including music reading, posture, and breath control.

For intermediate students, lessons will focus on breath control and support, posture, tonal quality, finger dexterity, articulation, hand position, sound production, and music theory as well as musicianship skills.

I can provide lessons for students and also jazz lessons as well for clarinet, saxophone, and flute

Taking clarinet lessons online is a great option at this time. I have taught private clarinet lessons for 47 years and have been a band instructor in the public schools. I emphasize good technique, sight-reading skills, improvisation and applying these skills to repertoire in preferred styles.

Weekly lessons are offered for students of all levels and ages. An individualized and thoughtful lesson plan will be provided on a weekly basis which will be based on the students musical needs and skill level.

I am from Dallas, Texas but moved to Pittsburgh to study with Michael Rusinek of the Pittsburgh Symphony. I received my Bachelor of Music in Music Education from Southern Methodist University and my Master of Music and Advanced Music Studies Certificate from Carnegie Mellon University.

Whatever your level, we will dive into great studies of classic fundamentals, technique refinement, mature tone quality, and of course music that YOU love to play.

I care about each of my students, and I try and make each lesson different and exciting. My approach to each student varies with what they need and how I can best help them.
