Overview

Our woodwind instructors teach rock, blues, metal, country and classical styles on flute, clarinet, saxophone and oboe. Beginners work on breathing, sound production, simple songs and melodies, sight reading and theory. Each lesson will challenge you with a new technique or music theory, and ends with something fun – such as your favorite riff or song. We employ a variety of method books based on student needs and preferences, and encourage students to bring smartphones or CDs to their lessons to learn their favorite tunes.
