If your child is looking is for a group to play in, there is a variety of ensembles within GYSP welcoming new musicians.

Several of my private clarinet students enjoy playing with the Germantown Youth Symphony Program.

With auditions happening next month, there’s still time to be well-prepared and feel confident with your music!

This audition is right around the corner!

🎵 Parents: Don’t waste money on the wrong clarinet reeds.

One of the questions I get asked most often is:

“Which reeds should I buy for my beginner clarinet student?”

After teaching hundreds of students over the past 15+ years, I’ve seen my students get good results from Vandoren.

🎼 Vandoren Traditional 2½ – the classic blue box that works well for most beginners.

Seriously, don’t buy the cheapest reeds you can find.

💡 One more tip: Buy a reed case, too! It helps reeds last longer by preventing warping and breakage.

Which reeds does your student use? Let me know in the comments!
