Teaching Information

I offer private clarinet and saxophone lessons to students of all ages and abilities. Lessons can be conducted in person for students local to the Long Island, NY area, or via FaceTime/Zoom. I charge $60/hour, and this can be prorated for any desired lesson time (30 min, 45 min, 1 hr, or 1.5 hrs).

My teaching philosophy is based on tailoring my approach to each student’s specific needs and interests. I firmly believe in fostering the growth of wholistic musicians. I am very flexible on the type of music and repertoire that we can work on, however, if a student has a specific area of need, I will make repertoire decisions to address this. Traditional instruction on one’s instrument can be supplemented with study in music theory, ear training, and improvisation. For any questions, or to set up a trial lesson, please send me a message!
