Learn Clarinet

and find your own artistic voice

Clarinet Students have gone to Royal College of Music in London and Interlochen Arts Academy

Students have attended major festivals, joined youth orchestras, entered conservatories, and pursued professional careers.

Specialization: Orchestral, solo, and chamber repertoire; contemporary music; clarinet doubling; emphasis on artistic well-being and musicianship in society.

Students: High school (college prep), conservatory students, adult amateurs. Currently space for 3–4 ongoing students.

Styles: Classical (core focus), contemporary techniques, crossover encouragement (klezmer, electronic, improvisation).

Teaching is as much about artistry, resilience, and self-awareness as it is about technique.

Transformative music education that fosters critical thinking, community engagement, and a lifelong relationship with music.

Connect mechanics of clarinet playing with psychology of performance. Support student well-being, individuality, and creative risk-taking. Mentor and collaborate to help students find their own artistic voice.

Frequently asked
questions

What levels do you teach?

Dedicated clarinetists at all levels—from motivated high-school players preparing for auditions to conservatory students and adult amateurs seeking personal growth.

Do you offer trial lessons?

Yes. I’m happy to schedule a one-off lesson or 30-minute intro chat to make sure we’re a good fit.

How do in-person vs. Zoom lessons differ?

Content is the same; in-person allows for more nuanced tone/air feedback. Zoom lessons work well for most topics with a reliable mic and quiet space.

What styles do you cover? Do you teach jazz?

My specialty is classical (orchestral, chamber, contemporary, extended techniques). I’m not a jazz clarinetist, but I support crossover exploration (klezmer, electronic, improvisation) and can offer tools and listening paths.

How should I prepare for my first clarinet lesson?

Bring your instrument, reeds, current repertoire/etudes, and any audition materials. For Zoom, test your mic and camera; share PDFs in advance if possible.

Do you help with auditions and ensembles?

Yes—audition prep and ensemble coaching are core offerings. I work on excerpts, interpretation, rhythm, intonation, and performance psychology.

Do you teach composition from scratch?

No, Framer allows you to create the most stunning websites, without writing any code. Only drawing rectangles on a design canvas.

Which notation or audio software do you require?

No strict requirements—Sibelius, Finale, Dorico, or your preferred DAW are fine. Use whatever supports professional notation and your workflow.

Can you advise on festivals, competitions, and residencies?

Absolutely. Career mentorship is part of my composition coaching: application strategy, networking with performers, and building sustainable practices.

What are your current openings?

I have space for 3–4 ongoing students and can often accommodate one-off lessons or check-ups. Use the booking form to inquire about times.
