Garrett Park, MD Clarinet Lessons

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 hold a masters degree in music from the University of Michigan, and have 10+ years of experience teaching students from beginner through advanced playing levels. I am committed to providing each student with the opportunity to develop technical skills and musical expression through the exploration of scales, exercises, etudes, solos and duets.

The clarinet is an incredibly expressive instrument, but only if you can cover the holes! I specialize in helping students make music with this incredibly capable instrument!
