    Become a clarinet expert with the guidance of an expert instructor

    I began playing music at age 11 while attending elementary school. I found playing music to be a magical and fulfilling experience. I quickly advanced through the levels, and graduated from Wayne State University with a Bachelor of Music in 1993. Since I love making music so much, I wanted to share with others the joy of music, and began teaching in 1986. Music is a fun form of self-expression and can improve focus and self-confidence. I enjoy teaching students of all levels and ages. I have played clarinet from the time I was a child in 6th grade. I played in concert band as well as marching band. One of my best memories of playing in high school was when our band played in the Orange Bowl Parade. I teach all levels of clarinet. I use several different books including the rubank books, and a few just for clarinet. I also have many solo fun and classical books for students to use. Whatever your reason for learning, I’m sure I can help you reach your music goals. Sign up for your first lesson today, and let’s get started!
