Lessons for piano, flute, clarinet, saxophone, oboe and bassoon are taught in my home in the Desert Shores community near Cheyenne and Rampart. I teach Monday thru Friday in the afternoons and early evenings. Mornings are available on a limited basis for home school and charter school students. Morning hours are available during the summer for everyone! A Yamaha upright acoustic piano is in my home. Woodwind students are expected to bring their own instruments and necessary equipment such as reeds, cork grease, swabs, etc. I will suggest various books to help you achieve your goals and interests. Band students may also bring music from school with which they need extra help.
With my extensive experience in teaching ALL woodwinds, brass, percussion and strings, I can help relate your current instrument to the piano or help you make the transition in starting a new instrument.
Whereas I am primarily a woodwind and piano specialist, I do accept students on other instruments. Please contact me for more informatin.
Auditioning for All State Band? College entrance? Scholarships?
I can also help you with that!
