Clarinet

I have been performing and teaching music professionally for 10 years in a variety of settings. I received my bachelor's degree in music education and jazz studies from Western Michigan University and my master's in jazz studies from Temple University in Philadelphia. 

My passion is jazz saxophone, and I have also played flute and clarinet in classical ensembles and theatre productions like West Side Story, Footloose and Shrek the Musical. I compose and arrange music for my own bands, and I have played pop/rock concerts as well. I am confident that I am prepared to guide you toward any style of music you could want to learn. I can't wait to work with you!

I always gear lessons toward the individual student's goals and interests! Clarinet can fit into almost any musical setting. Classical, pop, theatre, jazz, and more!

Michael had a well thought out lesson plan for the first day and my daughter learned something right away and she felt really encouraged to keep moving forward with flute.

Our 6th grade son has been taking virtual saxophone lessons with Michael and he is absolutely fantastic! We love Michael's dedication, kindness, and gifted talents as both a musician and educator.

Great lesson and very personable/attentive teacher

Michael has deep knowledge, performance & writing experience. I've studied Jazz with him for over 6 months and have made great progress. He is very supportive and patient..also just a really nice person. I highly recommend him.

Michael has been an amazingly helpful instructor. Super patient and willing to work with you at any pace you're comfortable with!

Also very fair and flexible in scheduling I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn or get back into the saxophone like I did!

Michael is a great instructor! I came to his course with some experience from college courses, but Michael excelled for intermediate level saxophonist! He works with me to find the best technique and improv exercises and is flexible in answering all of my questions! (My time with him is best spent with 1 hr long lessons too)

Michael is awesome. Besides sounding amazing, he's also very communicative and supportive/encouraging. He shared a ton of resources and adjusted lesson plans according to my level, meeting me where I'm at. I won't hesitate to recommend him to anyone who's looking for a reliable, professional, and positive instructor to get to that next level in your playing!

Mike was my 1st sax teacher and he couched me well. I can now play my sax with ease.

I was a complete beginner who bought a saxophone on a whim and had no idea how to even hold it. Michael was patient and such a great teacher that within a few lessons I'm now able to play notes and simple tunes! He's very knowledgeable and is willing to work with you to achieve YOUR goals. I look forward to my lessons with him because I always leave with a new skill or a new insight. Thank YOU Michael!

Michael is an incredible teacher with a true passion for helping his students reach their full potential. I took lessons for years before coming to him and was still struggling with my sound. After hearing me play once, he was able to quickly diagnose the problem and outline a number of tips on how to break my bad habits. You'd be hard pressed to find another teacher who is not only as deeply knowledgeable as Michael is but also as genuinely excited to share that knowledge. I very much look forward to our lessons every week!

I've been taking lessons from Michael for 3 months now. He's one of the best instructors that I have worked with. His teaching style is a mixture of theory, concepts, structure, but most importantly - fun! He really cares about you understanding the fundamentals for a successful musical journey but also makes sure that you're having fun and learning to play the music that you want to play. I'd highly recommend him to anyone. Whether you're a novice or veteran - he has the knowledge, experience, and personality to cater to a diverse network in the music community. Happy saxophone playing everyone!

Mr. Hudson-Casanova is a great teacher with a lot of experience.  Ask a question, and he'll answer or guide you in the right direction to explore your topic of inquiry in an easy manner.  He has helped me grow and improve as a saxophone player, and more so as a musician overall, through studies with various exercises like long tones, articulations, scales and progressions, and improvising on various jazz standards.  He has helped me discover new techniques and helped me to learn to incorporate them into my playing.  No matter your ability, Mr. HC can help you grow and learn!

Michael has dramatically improved my ability to play the saxophone and understand Western music theory. Over the year of taking lessons with Michael, he's taught me the foundations of saxophone: scales, long tones, and playing by ear, all the while sharing his contagious love for music and being extremely patient (my saxophone was broken and squeaky for our first three months of lessons, haha). He's generously created and provided custom sheet music exercises, duet recordings, and jazz playlists to inspire me. All in all, Michael is giving me an expert and friendly education.

Michael has worked with my daughter throughout high school and is such a talented teacher and musician. More recently they have been learning jazz as well classical (my daughters request, which Michael always encourages) and she has had so much fun with it.

Michael is a super teacher! He has been teaching for my school at least 5 years and every family and student loves him. He is very professional and inspiring. All of his students perform beautifully on recitals and show great confidence in music making. Something that will stay with them for a lifetime.

In this lesson, Michael will teach you how to play the simple song "Hot Cross Buns." This is a great first song for someone who has just played their first notes on the instrument. We only deal with the notes B, A, and G, which Michael will demonstrate. 

You will also learn how to properly tongue on the flute. Remember to take good breaths, and most importantly, HAVE FUN!
