Eagleville, PA Clarinet Lessons

Clarinet has been my main instrument since I was in 6th grade. I took private lessons in middle school all the way through college as a music major. I can work with students just getting started or more advanced students who need help with band music or solos.

I studied clarinet from elementary school to high school. I was in concert band and marching band for nearly 10 years. Here, we will study technique, reading music, understanding finger placement, theory and more.

Experienced teacher of 15 years, specializing in students of all levels on clarinet! All ages welcome. Lessons are customized and catered to the needs/goals of each student. Not only will you be playing songs in no time, but you will be building a strong foundation of note reading, music theory, ear training, sight reading, technique, and more. Let's get started!

I have been teaching Woodwinds for quite a few years and I love it! My students have seen results from learning to love to practice, to competitive success in solo competitions. When you first come you will start to think about music in a simpler way and will gain the confidence and understanding you need to play how you would like. Normally, I use The Rubank Method to develop a lot of technique in younger students. For those playing jazz or folk, we do a lot of play alongs while focusing on specific concepts.

I teach with Philadelphia Principal Players at the Philadelphia International Music Festival I've taught International Competition Winners (International Clarinet Association, Fischoff, Air Force Band) among many other top players. NAfME Interview in their October 2014 Issue. 1st Clarinet in the National Band "WindWorks" of Washington D.C. (recordings on youtube). I can take you to the next level and well beyond that! I have many students on Skype Worldwide from Jr. High to Professionals.

I have been playing clarinet professionally for over six years. My first performance was a production of "Guys and Dolls," and it opened up opportunities to play multiple woodwinds in all kinds of contexts. I am currently on-call to play with a number of symphony orchestras in town as well.
I am excited to share my passion for this beautiful instrument!

I am a professional clarinetist and certified music teacher (grades K-12) with 5 years of private clarinet teaching experience. Depending on what point in the journey each student is it, our lessons will cover all aspects of playing the clarinet, from proper breathing to performing solo repertoire. I strive to give each of my students a toolbox they can use when they encounter problems while practicing. I want my students to become their own teachers and to think intellectually about music and their instrument.

Learning to play the Clarinet should be fun and enjoyable. I've spent many years learning and perfecting my craft and I know from personal experience that if you aren't having fun, you won't learn nearly as much. We will go at your pace and I will never give you more to work on than you have time/are ready for.
