Advanced training plan
Your first lessonThe first lesson I will have the student go over their previous repertoire and technical patterns they have learned. Then, we will choose music to work on based on their skill level and goals.
Lesson 11+Ultimately, with an advanced player, my job will be helping to build skills for a successful musician, not just a clarinetist. I will teach practice methods and the subtleties of the music business.
Lesson 4-10We will continue building repertoire, and identify any holes in technique. We will come up with future lesson plans based on skill level and goals, and continue from there.
