Band Instruments
Age 8-108
Beginner to High School band level for Clarinet, Trumpet, Saxophone, and French Horn.
Have a band instrument you want to reconnect with or learn?...Need help in band?
Here’s what we might do: learn to be a confident sight reader, hear what others are playing; play with accompaniment, music theory, fun riffs, songwriting, and how to learn a song by ear.
I have been a music teacher for over twenty-five years.
I studied classical piano since childhood, picked up the guitar over a boy as a teenager, learned a variety of band instruments in high school, and did a teaching degree in University. I’ve played for weddings, theatre productions, choirs, adjudicators, dances, markets, and, of course, friends and family.
I believe music is about play: each skill a musician masters creates new opportunities for them to experiment, express emotion, and connect with others. Music is also a discipline that encourages determination, self-control, emotional awareness and joy. Absolutely anyone can learn to play music.
I’ve worked with hundreds of students aged three to eighty-three and am fortunate to have learned from all of them. I can’t wait to work with you too!
