In-Person Focused Study Packages

Service Description

Sometimes you don’t need ongoing private lessons—you just need focused help with one specific part of your playing. The Focused Study Package is a four-lesson private intensive designed to help you identify what’s getting in your way, make meaningful changes, and leave with practical strategies you can continue using on your own. Choose the focus that best fits your goals: • Embouchure Reset — Rebuild or refine your embouchure for greater comfort, stability, and consistency. • Audition Tune-Up — Prepare strategically for an upcoming audition with focused work on repertoire, excerpts, preparation, and performance. • Back to Clarinet Bootcamp — Returning after some time away? Rebuild your skills, confidence, and playing routine without starting from square one. • Bass Clarinet Fundamentals Reset — Develop a more comfortable, responsive approach to air, voicing, articulation, register changes, and the unique demands of the bass clarinet. • Reeds + Setup Reality Check — Take the guesswork out of reeds and equipment. We’ll evaluate what’s working, what isn’t, and whether your setup is helping or fighting you. • Establishing Your Practice Routine — Build an efficient, sustainable practice routine around your goals and learn how to get more from the time you spend with your instrument. • Technique Tune-Up — Target finger coordination, articulation, speed, register changes, tension, and other technical obstacles that are holding you back. Each package includes four private lessons devoted to your selected focus. While each option provides a starting framework, your study is individualized to your playing, experience, and goals. We’ll work together to diagnose problems rather than simply treating symptoms—and develop solutions that make sense for you. Focused Study Packages are ideal for clarinetists who want expert guidance and measurable progress without committing to ongoing weekly lessons. They’re also a great fit for experienced players who simply need a fresh set of ears, a technical reset, or some help getting over a stubborn plateau. Choose your focus and let’s get to work.
