Beautiful sound • Reliable technique • Your voice
Why study with me
Progress comes from clear goals, thoughtful design, and steady pacing. Alongside decades of performing experience, I use instructional design and sound pedagogical techniques to shape each lesson for how you learn best.
The craft of playing the clarinet starts with breath—the source of the clarinet’s legendary sound. From steady, supported air, we take a solution-oriented approach to real clarinet challenges: taking the mystery out of crossing the break, coordinating finger motion to prevent squeaks, developing clean and precise tonguing, and producing stable tuning across all registers. The aim is simple: a reliable foundation from which your distinctive musical voice can emerge.
- I bring proven experience as an orchestral professional and recording artist.
- I design clear weekly practice plans (you’ll know exactly what to do).
- I provide a supportive, results-oriented studio.
