Private Woodwind Lessons

I teach private lessons on saxophone, clarinet, flute, and oboe for students who want to build strong fundamentals, confidence, and consistency on their instrument. My teaching is grounded in a professional player’s perspective, with an emphasis on careful listening, good tone, and steady progress.

Most students I work with are enrolled in school band programs and take private lessons as a complement to their school instruction. Through patient, individualized work they often experience noticeable improvement, leading to stronger fundamentals and a more confident presence in their school ensembles.

Scheduling & Location

I teach through MusicWorks Iowa, with lessons held at the First Street Community Center in Mt Vernon. I have some availability on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons.
