Clarinet Lessons in Somerville. Amazing Teachers.

I am dedicated to helping students improve on their instrument and work toward their own personal goals. All ages and all levels are welcome. I think it is important to build on a foundation of technique, sight reading, and music theory, but also have fun in the process. I have a BM in Clarinet Performance from the University of Puget Sound and a MM in Clarinet Performance from California State University, Fullerton.

Able to teach beginning level clarinet

I’m an experienced music teacher with over a decade of experience in teaching private lessons to all ages. I know what it’s like to be frustrated whenever a concept doesn’t stick. The key is a whole lot of patience and this is something that I offer to each and every one of my students. Whenever you take lessons from me, you don’t have to worry about comparing yourself with every other clarinet player and trying to be the best. Simply be the best version of yourself and the rest will follow.

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.

I am an experienced orchestral clarinetist and bass clarinetist. I can help you or your student achieve their goals through individual planning. I enjoy working on fundamentals and utilizing performance psychology practices to improve the learning outcomes for the students. I believe that teaching clarinet is like playing a sport: there is a lot that goes into the work that is challenging the student while enjoying the process.
