What about "all chord music studio's" or "Macy's music studio's" like the department store? Good luck!

"Blue Note Music Studio" (if you're into Jazz) or maybe "Twelve Bars Rest Music Studio" (for stressed students). :-)

For me and my husband, incorporating the neighbourhood we live has worked quite well. I had considered various names, but I've noticed that people tend to search for a teacher in or near their area. You could also check your proposed studio names to check for particularly positive or negative anagrams, like my original studio name had "Miraculous Indications", but people kept spelling "Clariniano" wrong after explaining how it's a combination of clarinet + piano too many times, another name I had considered had "Scum music" as part of it.
Just my two cents.

I would say, keep it simple: "JanLynn Clarinet Studio" or maybe, "Clarinet Lessons by JanLynn" That way even the most uninformed parent or clueless prospective student may have a chance finding you in the phone book.
Whatever you call your studio, make your lessons fun. Smile a lot and always find something to compliment--students love encouragement over criticism. Avoid trying to correct everything all at once--the average student will just be confused and not remember anything. To that end, it may be helpful to have each student keep a lesson notebook that you can record your instructions in. Most students will forget almost everything as soon as they walk out the door, but with a notebook, at least they can read later what they heard earlier and *remember*.

My son is inside his first two years of playing, so no private teacher yet, but I can say when we reach a stage when we are looking for a private teacher, it won't be in the phone book...so you might also consider how well your name translates into a URL. Before you name your business, see what domain name you can buy to match. In that scenario, being first in the phone book matters less than if people can hear you say the URL and then can remember it and spell it. Avoid domain names with hyphens or numbers...or be prepared to tell someone your domain name and then to explain it every time...
Also, matching your domain to your biz name doesn't mean they have to be exactly the same...for example, JanLynn Clarinet Studio could be the name, and the domain might be JLClarinet.com or JLClarinetStudio.com or even ClarinetStudio.com...but avoid J-L-Clarinet-Studio.com. Finally, domains are relatively cheap, so you can buy many versions including .com, .net, etc (even common misspellings) and they can all point at the same web site.
That's my 2 cents!

Wow - thank you everyone! I decided on "Encore Music Studio" Clarinet Lessons (by) Jxxxx
William - I can appreciate fun and encouragement as I am a student myself Always do better and feel motivated when I'm encouraged rather than criticized. My students all have their own notebook with the days lesson and what they are to work on for next time. (just folowing what my teacher does with me)
