    About David W.

    I am a professional clarinetist and music technology specialist recently relocated to Chicago and building a new teaching studio. I have over ten years full-time clarinet teaching experience at the college level and I have performed with orchestras and as a soloist throughout the US. I have a doctoral degree in clarinet performance (University of Arizona) and a masters in computer music (Peabody Conservatory). I have taught classes and workshops in recording, general music technology, digital music programming, and music notation at the high school, community school, continuing education, and college levels.
