Lessons

I teach saxophone, clarinet, flute, and oboe lessons to students of all ages and abilities through Music Works Iowa in Mt. Vernon

For beginning clariet students, I recommend these accessories:

Reeds These little guys are fragile and key the clarinet being a source of joy. Always have a few backups in the case

Reed case – This protects and organizes reeds. This is much better than what the reeds come in and will absolutely save you money and headaches within a year.

Method Book – Sound Innovations – This book will be needed for school

Neck Strap – not essential, but VERY helpful for new students holding the instrument and professionals who practice long hours.

Swab – not essential right now but keeps the inside dry after playing. Moisture in a clarinet in the cold can cause cracks in the winter, and gurgly sounds after long practice sessions
