Private Lessons

Cally is an enthusiastic instructor, and works with students of all ages and skill levels. Her studio is made up of students from all over the United States and world - Illinois, Michigan, California, Florida, Texas, New Jersey, Missouri, Canada, The Netherlands, Mexico, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway, and more.  Local lessons (Chicago) may be in person, all other lessons are held over Zoom.  Many of her students have been admitted to prestigious music schools, all-district & all-state festivals, youth orchestras, and have received high ratings at solo & ensemble festivals. Her studio's adult students are top members of their local community orchestras and bands. 

In private lessons, students should expect to learn:

• Proper embouchure technique, tongue position, and air support to achieve a beautiful tone
• Practice techniques to develop technical proficiency
• About equipment: how to pick out a new clarinet, how to choose a mouthpiece, what reeds to use, which ligature to use, etc
• How to prepare for auditions, competitions, etc
• A series of level-appropriate etudes and repertoire that will develop musicality and interpretation - so that every student may find his/her own voice!
