Garrett is great! I used to play clarinet in elementary and middle school, so I was definitely a bit rusty. Now, 22, working full time, I wanted to pick it back up, and Garrett was very patient in helping me get reacclimated to the instrument. Not only, did I sound better than I did growing up, but Garrett made playing the clarinet fun and exciting. He's very flexible and will work with your schedule. You won't regret it, he's a great teacher!

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I talk with the student about what they are looking to improve in their playing and how seriously they would like to pursue their goals in order to tailor lessons specifically for them.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Two music A.A.''s from Citrus College as well as a Bachelors in Jazz performance from Cal State Northridge
How did you get started doing this type of work?
Through my pursuance of living off of my musical skills I knew that I need to teach private lessons to help pay the bills, however I also luckily just enjoy teaching as well.
