Teaching Method
Thank you for visiting my teaching website and for your interest in Clarinet lessons in NYC! Please feel free to contact me by phone or email with any questions at all.
I approach each clarinet student individually, working with strengths and addressing weaknesses in a relaxed, no-pressure environment. Individual musical interests (such as jazz, pop, classical, or rock genres) are incorporated into each lesson, helping to streamline and facilitate the learning process. Beginning students learn to make music from the first lesson starting with simple songs, and eventually with me joining in playing duets at each lesson.
• Tone production
• Finger technique
• Music notation• Rhythm
• Sight reading
• Playing by ear
• Phrasing and interpretation.
• Improvisation
At each clarinet lesson we work with short term goals, leading to long term improvement. As confidence and technical ability develop students cans explore more challenging songs, compositions, duets, and improvisation.
