Clarinet Lessons in Wylie. Amazing Teachers.

I've been playing clarinet for 30 years and teaching for about 20.

For my beginning students I like the Essential Elements series as well as the Klose method.

Students will learn the basics of becoming a premier instrumentalist. I will teach them everything they need to know about their instrument and prepare them for recital.

I've been teaching clarinet lessons for over 40 years, all levels, including adults. I especially enjoy teaching middle school students and beginners. Graduated from University of North Texas with a Bachelor's in clarinet performance, and was a member of the Air Force Band. I have taught private lessons in public school band programs in Dallas, Ft. Worth, Austin and New England, where I prepared students for auditions and had many place in region and all-state bands.

Learning to read music and transfer the notes on the page to an instrument holds great cognitive benefit for children. From better math skills to improved reading comprehension. And of course there's the emotional expression to be learned. There's a particular technique on clarinet I teach my students as soon as they are able that always gets them started on playing musically. As a teacher, it's always wonderful to hear that happen!

My name is Jerry. I LOVE music and passing my knowledge on to others. I have played many different instruments in many different kinds of bands. It all one major thing in common, it was FUN! If you are not having fun while learning an instrument you won't want to learn. Lessons can be fun AND educational at the same time. I have had many parents tell me I'm one of the best teachers they have ever seen. (A couple of them were public school teachers themselves). I truly want my students to succeed and I will do everything in my power to help them accomplish that!

All levels. Embouchee focused on with sound production first month with cutting edge Method Books utilized.
