Hi there! First posting on here, so a quick intro- I'm Stephen, 19 year old clarinet student working on a degree in Education and Comp at uni. The reason I'm posting here today is that I'm looking for a teacher willing to just work fundamentals with me, scales and etudes primarily out of the Baermann book and the Rose 32 & 40. I've been working for a while with my professor, but I have enough bad habits I built in the seven, eight years I played without any real instruction that we decided I need to take some time with a supplemental teacher to just woodshed my fundamentals and get me up to speed for where I ought to be at this point in my life. I'd really appreciate anyone who'd be interested, and if you want to send your price ranges and any other information my way, I'm easy to reach through my business email (stephenwillifordcomposition@gmail.com). With the current situation of course, it'll have to be through video, but I have a direct ethernet connection here to work with and decent audio and video equipment. Thanks for reading to anyone who does!

Sadly, I'm in a bit too small of a town for any symphony players right now. It's been a struggle finding clarinetists in my town, let alone those available to teach! Stuck in my tiny hometown right now since school campus is basically shut down and I can't afford an apartment by the school. I'll definitely look into contacting local union reps though, didn't even think about that!

“Strange that the student gets to stipulate the etude repertoire?”
My understanding is that this material is what his professor has assigned and he is looking for supplemental coaching.

Liquorice,
Funny you say that. When I started with my teacher in college, the first thing he said to me was, "So.......what do you want to work on?"
I was hoping for more guidance at that point in my life but that pretty much took care of that phase of being a student.
As for the poster's repertoire, that is the basic classical fundamental starting point as bestowed upon us by Marcellus via Bonade. It would be interesting to know if the fundamental starting point books are "fundamentally" different across the pond.

I'll ask the obvious question: if your uni prof thinks you should do this, why doesn't he recommend someone? He must have more senior students, maybe grad students or recent graduates who are still in the area, whom he could recommend.
What is your prof going to work on with you while you're working out fuindamentals with "scales and etudes primarily out of the Baermann book and the Rose 32 & 40?"

Wow, I got a lot of interesting and thought provoking comments here over night! Let me first say, I've gotten emails from a few people willing to work with me and I'm now in the clear in that department, but for those who wanted to know more about the situation, I figured I could let the interested know! So yes, smokindok was right about my repertoire, it's just the assigned fundamentals work that my professor has given me, and the main things I'm specifically looking for is breaking bad habits through playing the basics, especially scale work since I've gotten a hitch in my playing through bad hand position in the years I played before college. As for kdk's question, not many of my professor's past students have stayed near to home here, and those that have are busy running their own programs at the moment and I haven't really been able to work with any of them. It was one of my first thoughts too, but it didn't quite pan out as such. Thank you all for your interest and kind words!

Try Fred Ormand in Kansas, and David C. Blumberg. Both have students in major symphonies. There are others of course who you will benefit from and it's OK to study with more than 1 teacher. There is also Lee Morgan who is in Denmark I think, but you can take lessons via computer. Steve Barta might be interested too. With computers you can study anywhere!
