Halethorpe, 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 can teach what you need to know from band class, playing church to performing that big audition. Improvisation and Dixieland as well.

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.

Do you want to learn from the beginning or are you getting ready for an audition? Well I can help. I will tailor you lesson to suit your needs.

I am a band director who has played clarinet professionally for the last 20 years. I like to balance my lessons with a variety of excercises and repertoire that are catered to each student's interests, strengths and weaknesses.

I love motivating my students to achieve their own goals, realize their potential, and find happiness in music. I hold degrees from Manhattan School of Music and Oberlin Conservatory, and I'm happy to travel for lessons. Individuals and groups of all ages are welcome!

Custom tailored lessons for a solid foundation. Having fun is also a top priority when beginning lessons!

I meet my students where they are and am versatile in my teaching. I help students meet their performance expectations and achieve their potential.

I have been principal clarinet in the Belmont Orchestra for four years and just graduated from Belmont. Am able to teach and play classical and jazz

I'm a music education major in the DC area, specializing in Bb and bass clarinet students. All ages are welcome, and lessons will be customized to the goals of each student. I incorporate music theory and history into each lesson, and students start out playing a combination of music from methods books and "real pieces". I look forward to working with you!
