Clarinet Lessons in Philadelphia. Amazing Teachers.

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.

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.

Teach the beginner techniques of clarinet.

I work with the student to develop a curriculum based on their musical interests and my own teaching pedagogy. I strongly feel that for musicians to own their education, they must have a say in what they play. Assigning method books and mindless etudes to practice doesn't have nearly the same effect asking them "Ok, what kind of music do YOU like? What do you want to PLAY? What do you want to LEARN?".

I believe that students learn best when they are invested in a subject, and the best way to get them invested is to individually get to know each one, speak to them on their level, and get them playing music they're interested in.

Learning to play clarinet is wonderful.

We will utilize the Rubank Elementary Method for the beginner clarinet student.

I will teach you how to read music, play major and minor scales while performing some of your favorite simple classical to classic pieces.

My teaching philosophy is to empower students with the tools they need to become their own greatest mentor. I emphasize goal setting so that our work together has clarity of purpose. I believe in the power of carefully focused attention and intention in music-making. Let's push the limits of your playing to the next level together!
