Beloit, WI Clarinet Lessons

Clarinet was my secondary instrument in college. I have taught all levels.

I have been playing various woodwind instruments for almost my entire life. I focus on tone, intonation (staying in tune), and the confidence needed to be a strong melodic player.

Instruction for all ages and ability levels on all saxophones, clarinets, and flutes.

My teaching starts with a good foundation for sound and technique and expands to teach music that is fin and inspiring to each individual student. If the student would like to learn to play jazz, I have a method which will shaves off years of hard work and frustration. All my teaching is geared towards giving the student good basics along with a practical application to today's music scene.

I'm an accomplished woodwind performer with professional experience performing in the genres of jazz, pop, and classical music. I've studied clarinet under Harry Skoler at Berklee College of Music, and have experience teaching beginning students, classical and jazz performance, and jazz improvisation.

Lauren began playing the clarinet at age 10 and later was offered scholarship to attend university for clarinet performance. Although her life took her on a different path, she never lost her passion and heart for clarinet performance. She offers comprehensive lessons on clarinet tailored to the needs of each student. Lauren favors the "Essential Elements" and "Standard of Excellence" method books for teaching children.

Rich is a professional clarinet, having performed in NYC, Europe, and Los Angeles.
