This is an 4 week class designed to teach beginning students how to play the clarinet. Students will learn the parts of the clarinet, how to put the instrument together, the appropriate methods for producing sounds/pitches, notes/fingerings, and how to play beginning level songs. This will be a very squeaky adventure!

Students are expected to have a Bb Clarinet on their very first lesson day.

Hello! 
I'm Ms. Lexi and I teach of a variety of Instrumental Music classes (winds and strings!) and Pre-K general music. 

My first taste of teaching comes from my experience as a Teaching Artist with the BSO's Orchkids Program working with students in schools that rarely offered general or instrumental music programs. It was a gift to meet so many bright, talented, and eager students. For the last several years, I have worked with several elementary and middle schools in the public school system. I have taught beginner and intermediate students to play a variety of band and string instruments. 

I believe that every student can learn to love music and play an instrument! It is all about finding the right instrument for the student, discovering the music they love, and reinforcing the habits that work for each individual. 

My favorite things to do outside of teaching and music are knitting socks, creek swimming with my mastiff and discovering a great new read at Barnes and Noble.
