I was inspired by my first clarinet teacher, who taught me for approximately fifteen years. She made my lessons enjoyable, and showed me that music is more than just sound, it is a language that need not be understood to be enjoyed.

Services
Clarinet tuition is offered for students of all ages and abilities, with the lessons catered towards their personal goals and aspirations. Lessons cover all aspects of clarinet study including instrument care, performance technique and ensemble playing.
Students learn a wide variety of repertoire written for the instrument ranging from popular/jazz music to classical/contemporary pieces. Exams are not a necessity for progress and learning to take place, but, can be taken at the student’s discretion.
Though theory is taught within the session practically with theoretical concepts applied to pieces, theory-only lessons are offered for Grades 1 to 5.
