Music Lesson
Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Flute, Trumpet, Piano, Guitar — Lessons Built for Curiosity and Mastery
What I teach
Woodwinds: Clarinet and Bass Clarinet (beginner → advanced)
Brass: Trumpet (beginner → intermediate)
Flute: (beginner → intermediate)
Keyboard & Strings: Piano and Guitar (beginner → intermediate)
Modern sound: Electronic music fundamentals and effects-pedal technique specifically for horn players
Theory & Creativity: Music theory, chord theory (beginner → advanced), and improvisation
Why this approach works
Practical + Exploratory: Lessons combine solid technical foundations (posture, tone, technique, fingerings, articulation) with creative application (improvisation, arranging, effect design).
For advancing players: Intensive work on extended techniques, repertoire expansion, orchestral/ensemble preparation, sight-reading for auditions, and developing a personal sound—especially on clarinet and bass clarinet.
For horn players curious about electronics: I tailor pedal chains, signal flow, and live-processing strategies so wind players can use effects musically—no studio jargon required.
Theory that matters: Chord theory and analysis are taught through repertoire and improvisation so students immediately use what they learn to write, solo, and accompany.
Lesson formats & length
Standard private lesson: 45 minutes — focused technical work + repertoire (recommended for steady progress)
Intensive studio session: 60–75 minutes — deep dives for auditions, recitals, or advanced technique work
Trial session: 30 minutes — intro assessment and lesson plan
Composition/improvisation workshop: 90 minutes (small group or individual) — project-based, great for integrating electronics and pedals
Pricing & packages (value-focused)
Trial 30-min session: $35
Regular 45-min lesson: $65
Extended 60–75-min lesson: $90
Intensive 90-min workshop: $130
Monthly packages (best value): 4 × 45-min lessons — $240 (save $20); 8 × 45-min lessons — $460 (save $60)
Group rates and school/ensemble coaching available; student discounts for full-time students and multi-instrument families
What makes lessons unique
Cross-disciplinary specialization: Few teachers pair classical woodwind expertise with electronics and pedal-based sound design. I help wind players translate effects into expressive tools, not gimmicks.
Custom, goal-oriented plans: Every student gets a roadmap—practice targets, repertoire milestones, audition prep, and measurable technique benchmarks.
Performance & recording support: I coach for recitals, auditions, competitions, and home-recording setups so students learn to perform confidently and capture their sound.
Real-world musicianship: Emphasis on arranging, comping, reading charts, and improvisation for jazz, pop, contemporary classical, and experimental music.
Flexible delivery: In-person lessons, live remote lessons, and hybrid formats to suit schedules and comfort levels.
Who benefits most
Beginners seeking a clear, encouraging path across multiple instruments
Conservatory-bound clarinetists and bass clarinetists preparing repertoire and auditions
Horn players who want to integrate pedals and electronics into their performance
Songwriters and improvisers wanting stronger chordal knowledge and practical theory
Multi-instrumentalists who want efficient, transferable technique and musical thinking
Getting started
Book a 30-minute trial to assess goals and level. We’ll create a tailored plan and choose a lesson format and cadence that fits your life.
Expect clear practice assignments, progress tracking, and creative projects from week one.
Add 30-minute and 1-hour lessons — bundle and save. Choose individual sessions at $100 per lesson, or subscribe monthly for $350 per month for ongoing weekly lessons. Flexible scheduling and priority booking included with the monthly plan.
If you want, tell me your instrument, current level, and goal (audition, band, hobby, recording), and I’ll sketch a sample 8-week plan tailored to you.
