So you’re interested in signing up for online group clarinet lessons? Great, you’re in the right place!
Why take online group clarinet lessons with me?
✅ Fantastic entry point. If you just started playing the clarinet, online group clarinet lessons are a great way to kickoff your learning! Being in a group setting brings you comfort, you’re surrounded by other students who are in the same boat as you. Which brings up our next benefit…
✅You learn from your classmates. By taking group lessons, you’ll have classmates who will be going through the same challenges as you. There’s so much to learn as we share and learn from each other’s struggles and questions.
✅Affordability. Group lessons allow you to take high quality private music instruction at an affordable price. Which brings me to…
✅Lessons with a highly skilled teacher with a strong performance background. I’ve been helping beginner clarinet players transform their playing for 20+ years. My many, many years of working with public school bands, El Sistema after school programs, and youth orchestras have given me experience teaching groups of clarinet players time and time again. My classes give you simplified and easy step-by-step technique development in a supportive and warm learning environment.
✅ Online group clarinet lessons are convenient and work with your schedule. If travel time is one of your excuses for not having gotten started on clarinet lessons yet, then say goodbye to that excuse! They also allow you to pursue learning the clarinet without being limited by whether or not there is a clarinet teacher in your area.
Who do I specialize in teaching?
Clarinet players ages 8-18 (grades 3-12)!
