Services
I offer clarinet and woodwind sectionals during marching and concert band, educational videos, and private lessons. I’m happy to work with students during band camp or throughout the school year.
Private Lessons
Private lessons are one of the most effective ways to improve your playing. Lessons provide personalized instruction focused on refining fundamentals, developing effective practice strategies, and building confidence. I work with each student on their individual goals and help them progress at an appropriate and sustainable pace.
I offer both in person and virtual lessons
Fees:
Hour lesson (High School): $55 per lesson
Half Hour Lesson (Middle School): $35 per lesson
Sectionals
Sectionals are designed as in-school, ensemble-focused instruction for band programs. I offer clarinet and woodwind sectionals for middle and high school ensembles. These sectionals focus on refining fundamentals in an ensemble context, developing effective practice habits, and achieving mastery of concert and marching band repertoire.
Fees:
Middle School: $50 per class period
High School: $50 per class period
Educational Videos
I create YouTube videos covering clarinet fundamentals, practice strategies, and a wide range of related topics. These videos are designed to reinforce concepts taught in lessons or sectionals and provide students with an additional resource for regular practice. While they are not a replacement for private lessons, they serve as a valuable supplement to ongoing instruction.
