Marylhurst, OR Clarinet Lessons

Tired of being frustrated by the pace of self-teaching or is your child bored with the progress in school band class? Are you an adult who never played an instrument but are really interested in learning a wind instrument? Not able to express yourself creatively or don't really understand why your favorite songs or styles of music work? Do you want a more hands-on way of teaching with personalized plans just for you?

Learn how to play the Clarinet with Michael!

Michael teaches a variety of instruments and subjects in the woodwind family:

- Saxophone
- Clarinet
- Flute
- Improvisation
- Music Theory
- Jazz Studies

Michael creates versatile and fun lesson plans that incorporate learning your favorite music while teaching theory, improvisation, note reading, songwriting, or any other interests! He has an easy-to-follow, fun, but yet structured and thorough plan designed for results to help the student reach their goals, rather than imposing an one-size-fits-all plan just

I have been teaching clarinet for nearly thirty years (beginning to college level), and particularly enjoy teaching out of the Klosé method in a way that is interactive and enjoyable. While learning solid technique, we will include resonator fingerings for the best possible tone, and think beyond the wonderful clarinet literature waiting for you, as we unlock your personality in the chameleon quality of the clarinet. I encourage students to also play by ear and learn cultural traditional music from all over the world.

I'm an accomplished woodwind performer with professional experience performing in the genres of jazz, pop, and classical music. I've studied clarinet under Harry Skoler at Berklee College of Music, and have experience teaching beginning students, classical and jazz performance, and jazz improvisation.

I believe in catering lessons to a students individual desires and musical goals. Our lessons can cover a broad range of concepts like:
Musicality/Performance
Jazz Improvisation
Composition/Arranging
Transitioning from Clarinet to Sax, Bass Clarinet or Flute
How to practice
Tone and Sound production
Technique
Reading/Sight Reading
Learning Tunes
And MUCH, MUCH MORE!!!

I’m a professional clarinetist and woodwind instructor with 8 years of teaching experience, four of which include instruction at institutions of higher learning. I have a passion for developing smaller studios into well-established programs and helping students define and accomplish their musical goals.

I am working on basics/fundamentals that is the first thing the student has to be awar of when learning the instrument.Help to go through orchestra repertoire,solo performances,chamber music.
I have very individual approache with each student that helps student to become a quick learner, indurceing student's selfestime,since "one size fits all" is not my believes.

Hello!

My name is Zoe and I am so excited for the opportunity to teach clarinet! I have been playing clarinet for over 15 years, and have traveled all around the world.
I specialize in teaching beginner and intermediate students, focusing on the groundwork that helps students grow musically.

In addition to teaching clarinet, I am also a teacher and working on my M.Ed. I love working with students, helping them unlock their passion and potential for music.

I have over 10 years of teaching experience in the US and abroad.
All ages and levels are welcome. I adapt lessons to each student's ability. You will learn how to produce good sound and interpretate music pieces, also will build a strong foundation of notes reading, music theory, ear training, sight reading, technique, and more. Let's get started!

If you choose to take lessons with me, your money is going toward top-notch private music instruction. My curriculum includes goal-setting meetings and check-ups to ensure that my student and myself are both doing our best to realize his or her musical ambitions. I utilize 'before and after' recordings to show my students just how far they've come without even realizing it, stirring up deeper motivation and reinforcing the power of practicing. Although I've been playing for over 15 years and now perform regularly in the NYC area, I don't expect my skills and experience to simply rub off on my students. When you schedule a lesson with me, you are working with an educator, not a performer.

Although I am a saxophonist professionally, I've been playing clarinet alongside it for a few years, and I'm fully capable of taking on beginner and intermediate students on this instrument. Rest assured, the unique features of my teaching style and curriculum are no less powerful because clarinet ...
