Adult Clarinet Lessons

Teaching Adult Students

Adult beginners often discover that learning the clarinet brings joy, stress relief, and a sense of accomplishment. Whether you've never played the clarinet or played a little years ago, my lessons will help you develop a good foundation in clarinet playing and musicality. Many adults begin for personal enjoyment, while others set goals, such as advancing through progressive studies or Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) studies. Whether you want to play for fun, join a community band, or challenge yourself with structured study, I can guide you!

Clarinet Rudiments

Clarinet students learn and continue to develop the foundation of playing clarinet:

• How to hold the clarinet in a relaxed manner
• Embouchure development
• Air support and beautiful tone
• Sight read clarinet music
• Rudiments of music notation and theory
• Good practice habits

Adult Student Goals

I've had the honour of teaching many adult clarinet students, each with their own unique reasons and learning goals.
Students may want to:

• Play for fun
• Play to learn something new and keep the brain sharp
• Explore music as a creative outlet and lifelong skill
• Progressive and structured study of rudiments, theory, sight reading, etudes, student repertoire
• Play in community bands or other ensembles
• Study for RCM exams
• Prepare for post-secondary music studies
