Homework
4+ hours per week. To maximize the value of these lessons, it's important for learners to engage in consistent practice. Ideally, daily practice is encouraged, but I understand that each learner's schedule and lifestyle are unique. Together, we will collaborate to craft a practice routine that aligns with your schedule. This approach ensures that your practice routine remains both enjoyable and effective.
Assessment
I primarily assess learners through observation, carefully monitoring their progress. Occasionally, we may incorporate digital assessment tools like fillable PDF worksheets and Boom Cards to gauge musical literacy, including note and rhythm reading abilities.

Intermediate Level
In these private one-on-one clarinet lessons, I am fully committed to helping you develop your clarinet playing technique! In these lessons, I'll guide you every step of the way with personalized instruction tailored to helping you achieve your musical goals. You'll see faster progress, improved tone quality, advancement in technique and gain a deeper appreciation for music in the process.

🎶 Class Structure:
These are hour length, ongoing private 1:1 clarinet lessons. You will receive personalized guidance and instruction based on your needs and musical goals. 

🍏 How I Will Teach:
I will teach according to your unique needs and musical goals! During the first lesson, I will spend some time learning about your  background, prior musical experience (if applicable) and determining your overall goals for lessons. After our initial lesson, I will structure our subsequent lessons to prioritize your goals and needs. Everyone is a little bit different. Some learners want to grow quickly and seek a rigid and structured approach while others are focused on keeping things laid back, easy and fun! Wherever you fall on the spectrum is fine, but I will typically spend some time getting to know you in order to determine how to serve you best!

👩🏼‍🏫 Teaching Style:
My dedication to my private students is unwavering and I enjoy building lasting bonds with them! As a teacher, I have often been described as "passionate", "caring" and "tech-savvy" by parents, students and administrators. While I enjoy creating structured lesson plans, I tend to embrace organic learning moments as they arise.

🙋🏽 Learner Interaction:
Since these are private 1:1 lessons, you will receive complete one-one-one attention where I'll address your strengths and weaknesses with the overall goal of helping you become the best player you can be!

🧠 Required Experience or Knowledge:
Learners should have a minimum of 4 years of clarinet playing experience before enrolling in hour-long sessions. These sessions are ideal for intermediate level clarinet players. Please visit my teacher profile for 30 minute sessions which are ideal for beginners.

Learning Goals

Learners will improve their tone production and sound on the clarinet through embouchure  refinement and stability exercises.
Learners will develop their breath support using diaphragmatic intercostal breathing techniques and finger breath exercises to sustain their clarinet sound.
