For any instrument.  Margot can teach you the ornamentation, modes, and rhythms of klezmer along with lots and lots of tunes!

Margot is an amazing and inspirational clarinetist.  She is also a very supportive and patient teacher.  She has the knack of listening to her students and solving problems. She is cheerful and not critical.

Studying with and learning from Margot is a real treat, and I always leave with new insights, technical skills, and great stories. Margot is in the top echelon of klezmer clarinetists to learn from, having been taught by some of the greats herself, and it's clear she is dedicated to passing this on. Her down-to-earth approach is welcoming as much as it is incredibly skillful. I have felt challenged and supported, and look forward to more lessons!

I worked with Margot on klezmer style and repertoire through the Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program from 2019-2020.  Margot is a true culture-bearer of American Ashkenazi clarinet style as she learned from elder musicians, recordings, and community and perfected over decades of dedication and performance.  She is a precious link in the chain of cultural continuity, knowledge, musicianship and heartful expression that connects us to the past of Yiddish civilization and allows that inheritance to be renewed in each generation.  I wouldn't miss a chance to be around Margot's music!  Margot is a force of nature that you will learn from--whatever your particular instrument, focus, or learning goals, being connected to the culture and experience that she embodies and generously shares is an amazing and useful opportunity.

Margot Leverett is a world class musician and I have benefitted greatly from her teaching me about Klezmer music. She is gentle and direct, and very good at communicating what to do more of and what to do less of to create an authentic sound. I am a piano and accordion player and it doesn't matter what instrument a person plays, Margot knows how to make that person a better musician. I highly recommend her!

The best part about learning with Margot is that she listens to you - what you want to learn, how you want to sound, your playing - and uses this information to adapt her teaching to your needs. She is wonderful at going back to the basics when needed, pushing you forward, and giving practical advice to support your playing and ongoing improvement.

Margot is a fenomenal teacher! She really was able to teach me crucial aspects of my current approach to clarinet!

As a professional clarinetist nowadays I 110% recommend Margot as a teacher!

This one thing will make you a better clarinetist.
