“Hi, I’m Liz &
I’m your clarinet teacher!”

I have been teaching clarinet for 22 years and have taught hundreds of students. I teach students ages 8-18 and beginner/returning adults. My many years of study, performing, and teaching have allowed me to streamline and distill how to play the clarinet into a simple and highly effective approach, helping clarinet students who want to get better fast by providing expert guidance and direction. I pride myself in knowing that my lessons are more than just the clarinet- they are about personal growth, building confidence, connection, and having fun! My students and families know this as well. I’ve been commended many times by various organizations for my high student retention rate! I maintain a small studio so that my students can get the attention they need and deserve.

Student Accomplishments
My students consistently receive top placement in Solo & Ensemble and All State auditions and have been accepted to various music programs including the All American D-Day Band 2023, Juilliard Music Advancement Program, LaGuardia High School of Music and Art and Performing Arts and Milwaukee High School of the Arts. My students also move up quickly into higher level school ensembles and continue to play in college ensembles, being able to participate in performances abroad and in events such as the Rose Bowl Parade.

Testimonials

  • “My 7-year old son has worked with Liz for about ten months and she has been fantastic. When he started, he could not really read music or get any notes out of the clarinet (or the recorder). Now he can and is progressing through study books! We've been very happy with his progress under Liz. It can be a trick to combine high standards with patience and encouragement and she does it very well. We highly recommend her!”

    —Patrick L.

  • “Liz is amazing. My 10-11 year old son took lessons from Liz during 5th grade, and he improved at a much faster pace than his classmates. Liz is patient and kind, and teaches at whatever level the student is at. I highly recommend her!”

    —Ross D.

  • “Best teacher we’ve had on or offline."

    —Howard C.

  • “Liz is amazing - my daughter improved more in one month of lessons with Liz than in a year in a group clarinet class. My daughter enjoyed her time with Liz, who is friendly, patient and offers great insights.”

    —David E.
