Our Flute, Clarinet, and Saxophone Instructors

The woodwind teachers at Main Line School of Music and Dance are highly qualified. They all have degrees in music education, composition or performance, but most importantly they are experienced, well-rounded and patient with their students. They are youthful and fun and will engage you with material that is both interesting and exciting while tempering it with the necessary amount of structure. Additionally, you get to select your own repertoire so you can learn the songs that inspire you! We use a combination of note reading and incorporating your ear into your studies so you can reproduce a note when you hear it. It is important for you to be able to read the notes, but ear training is essential to becoming a well-rounded flute, clarinet or sax player. Our approach to your lessons will create a fun, balanced musical experience for you. Our flute, clarinet and sax lessons are all private one-on-one instruction and are available for 30 minute, 45 minute or 60 minute sessions.

Performance Opportunities

We offer you a minimum of two performance opportunities each year at our music showcases. Students perform on a variety of instruments including the flute, clarinet, sax, piano, keyboard, voice, electric guitar , acoustic guitar, bass guitar, drums and strings. Performers also range from beginner to advanced abilities. Some of the benefits that you get from performing in the showcase include:

• Performing in front of an audience builds confidence.
• An opportunity to apply the knowledge that you have learned in your lessons.
• Setting a goal to master and play a piece of music in front of an audience.
• Performing in front of an audience is fun!

About Woodwinds

Woodwind instruments fall into the broader category of wind instruments. These instruments are divided into two categories: flutes and reeds. Flutes include instruments such as the traditional flute and the piccolo and are played by blowing a stream of air across a sharp edge that splits the stream. Reed instruments include the saxophone, clarinet, oboe, and bassoon and are played by focusing air into a mouth piece which causes the reed to vibrate. Brass and woodwind instruments can be played in orchestras and concert bands (or marching bands). These instruments are widely used in jazz and blues music as well as in current popular music such as rock and R&B (rhythm and blues) and improvised solos are also a part of the tradition of many of these instruments.
