    About Clayton M.

    (9)
    Besides my experience and love of music, I'm a people person with a gift of teaching, so it's a win-win. I have a B.S. degree from the University of Tennessee with a minor in music. I'm a concert level clarinetist (over 30 years) as well as barbershop singer (25 years) and worship leader (20 years), & guitar player (25 years), sax player (10 years). I also play handbells, have directed three youth musicals, and have led music at youth camps, conferences, retreats, Kairos prison ministry, and other service projects. I currently lead a nine member bluegrass band which is a blast. *** Lesson Details *** I will push you for excellence and I teach in fun ways. I hope to play a lot together after the basics have been accomplished. The most important aspect of playing an instrument or singing is to have fun. If you not enjoying what you're doing, why do it? I hope to make the overall musical experience fun and help you achieve your goals. *** Travel Equipment *** whatever is needed. Whatever they need *** Specialties *** worship leading, singing, barbershop quartet singing, clarinetist for both classical and jazz groups as well as worship

    I’m new at playing guitar and Clayton has been very patient with me as I learn. He is extremely knowledgeable and explains things clearly to me. I also enjoy talking music with him. Our lesson time passes quickly. Highly recommended.
