Master of Music, Clarinet Performance

With over 20 years of teaching experience, I teach clarinet students at any stage of their musical development, and musicians of any instrument better self use through the Feldenkrais Method ®. I believe in tailoring every lesson to the needs of the individual student. As a Feldenkrais Practitioner, I have a unique perspective on teaching the student how to inquire within their own self-coordination to find neurological answers to musical or physical challenges with their instrument.

Thoughts On Private Lessons

Learning to play flute is not easy and learning to play it well as a beginning, developing, or advanced player can be a slow and arduous process. A good teacher makes a difference in how quickly you learn to play your instrument, and their instruction is key to developing good habits and techniques that will make you a better player.

Bachelor of Music, Clarinet Performance

Each student is unique. They need different motivations and different materials to work through advancing from their current level. As such a defined, regular lesson plan or structure is difficult to determine. Each student needs different feedback from the instructor to develop the skills they need to succeed.
