    (1)
    I have been playing clarinet for 15 years and teaching professionally for five of those years. Teaching clarinet is my personal passion and I strive to be the best teacher I can be every day. I am currently the Teaching Assistant in clarinet at Arizona State University where I teach college undergraduates majoring in clarinet as well as graduate students taking clarinet as a secondary instrument. In addition, I maintain a private studio and teach clarinet, flute, and saxophone at East Valley School of Music in Chandler, AZ. I also do clinics and master classes at schools throughout the Phoenix area. To hear examples of my playing, please visit https://soundcloud.com/curtis-sebren
