Clarinet Lessons in Logan Square. Amazing Teachers.

I aim to create a situation where students become enthusiastic and confident about performing the music they learn. I focus primarily on basic fundamentals but I also encourage students to develop and incorporate their own methods of practice.

I am happy to introduce myself. My name is Alexander. I graduated from the Curtis Institute of music and was performing all over the world since then with major orchestras, festivals and have collaborated with many great artists.

I was very fortunate to study with many great clarinets from different schools and traditions. I very much look forward to sharing my experience with you and hope to hearing from you soon. I promise to inspire you to work hard and will help you in preparation for your high school, college, music festivals auditions and much more! Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.

Students will learn how to properly learn and play the clarinet from the absolute basics to a high, intermediate level and beyond in various styles.
Beginners: The basics of embouchure, technical skills, proper breathing techniques, ability to read music.
Intermediate: Playing intermediate level solo pieces, refining technique, extending range, learning how to play music by ear and performing in various styles, from classical to jazz.

My background in clarinet performance is quite unique in that I began studying clarinet as a senior in high school, rather than as a middle schooler like most. This forced me to improve at a much accelerated pace as I worked through my undergrad degree in clarinet performance. This involved a very aggressive approach to practicing and performance that focuses on fundamentals like embouchure, articulation and breathing, while also studying a wide range of clarinet repertoire. I apply this approach to my clarinet teaching allowing students of all ages to make very quick improvement as a clarinetist while also learning about music theory, music history and developing a love for music that will last well beyond their time as my student.

Want to be an adaptable musician? Be an orchestral performer as well as learn to be a doubler in the pit for Broadway shows? Learn how to use technology to change your musical experience? I am a professional player, educator of 7 years, and clarinet technician with experience across every facet of the classical music industry. I also run a small business 3D printing customized equipment for clarinets and saxophones. Feel free to send me a message and learn more!
