I have been asked to provide clarinet lessons to the young people who attend
the Piedmont Music School here in Virginia. I played a recital recently, and
well . . .
I've provided instruction to more advanced students from time to time, but
have never worked with young people who have never picked up an instrument.
Where can I find advice on this very critical early stage of instruction.
And for those teachers out there, I would really appreciate some thoughts,
not just with respect to introductory technique, but what I can expect or
should expect from young students. What age is appropriate to start? I
started playing when I was 12.
