Instruments that I teach...
With all instruments, I accompany my students either on the same instrument, or on the piano.
Clarinet
The clarinet is a single-reed woodwind instrument known for its versatility and wide range, playing a significant role in both orchestral and solo music.
Piano
The piano is a keyboard instrument that produces sound when struck strings are activated by hammers when keys are pressed.
Saxophone
The saxophone is a single-reed, keyed woodwind instrument with a conical body, usually made of brass. It's known for its distinctive tone, which is a blend of brass and woodwind sounds.
Music Theory
Music theory is a system for understanding and analyzing music by examining its fundamental elements like notes, scales, chords, rhythm, melody, harmony, and form.
NUVO jSax
The jSax follows traditional saxophone fingering patterns and enables kids to develop sax embouchure and playing skills at an early age. It has a surprising mellow sax sound and is a lot of fun to play.
This is ideal for beginners from aged 6 and above, giving them a head start on the techniques of playing an alto sax before they are ready for the transition, usually around age 10-12.
NUVO Clarineo
The NUVO Clarinéo is a clarinet in the key of C and is ideal for young starters ages 4 to 12 years. It is much lighter and smaller than a B♭ clarinet which means the finger stretches are shorter and the tone holes smaller.
This takes away a lot of the physical challenges of the B♭ clarinet while encouraging kids to practice more and develop the skills and enthusiasm they will need when they are ready to step up. It can give a child up to three years head start on learning the clarinet. Since the fingering is the same, the transition to B♭ clarinet is quick and easy when they are ready
