Welcome!

 

My studio philosophy is to foster a lifelong love of music and improvement in skills in a supportive and encouraging environment, no matter the student's skill level or future musical plans.

 I teach clarinet and bass clarinet lessons from beginner on up (4th grade to adult), piano lessons (beginner, 4th grade to adult), and saxophone (beginner/middle school)  in the Crystal Lake, Illinois area. I have a Bachelor of Music in theory and composition from Ohio State University (1997) and a Master of Library and Information Science from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (2005). I work as a freelance musician and composer and live with my husband and two cats.

My rate is $35 for a 30-minute lesson. I can also accommodate 45- and 60-minute lessons (inquire for cost). I typically give weekly lessons, but will work with other schedules.
