Teaching Philosophy
As a clarinet teacher, I am dedicated to the student in front of me. According to his or her personnal needs I will adapt my teachings, this is on a one on one basis in each case! On teaching the instrument, I develop good technique and good musicality. Having a solid technique is important to learn the very language of the music one wants to play, wether it's classical or jazz music. If needed, we will do musical theory to help understand this process of learning. I ask my students to listen to a lot of music for phrasing purposes and ear training of course! Also, I try to stress having good sight-reading capacities for it will be eazier and faster to discover new material to learn. Finally, I try to shear my passion for the instrument, this has to be fun for the student!

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
