“Teaching is an essential part of my musical life. Music is about sharing ideas, stories, and emotions with an audience. With teaching, we explore how students can connect with others through music. Private lessons are an excellent way to foster individual growth outside of a classroom. I am forever grateful for all of my private teachers, as they each fueled my sparks of creativity through music.”

Benefits of Private Lessons
Studying privately with a professional musician is a game-changer for any clarinet student. Private lessons offer the rare opportunity for one-on-one mentorship, where students receive expert guidance tailored to their unique strengths, challenges, and musical goals.
In private lessons, students:
- 🎵 Get Personalized Instruction – No two musicians are the same. Lessons are designed around individual goals, whether preparing for auditions, mastering challenging music, or building long-term skills.
- 🎯 Develop Accountability & Discipline – Success in music—and life—requires commitment. Students set clear practice targets, learn time management, and experience the rewards of dedication.
- 🌟 Gain Confidence Under Pressure – Performing, whether in an audition or on stage, is a skill that extends beyond music. Learning to manage nerves and perform under pressure builds resilience that benefits students in every field.
- 🎠Find Their Voice Through Music – Music is more than just notes on a page—it’s a form of self-expression. Lessons help students discover their unique artistic voice.
- 🔄 Embrace Mistakes as Growth – Learning an instrument teaches one of life’s greatest lessons: mistakes are not failures but stepping stones to improvement.
- Private lessons are an investment in not just musical ability, but in confidence, discipline, and personal growth—skills that last a lifetime.
