My name is Eleni and I’m so excited to be your music teacher! I’ve been playing the clarinet for almost 20 years and it’s been a huge part of my life. Along the way, I’ve had some amazing experiences with music and I love sharing that joy with my students. In addition to clarinet, I also play and teach piano and saxophone, and I offer recorder lessons for younger kids who are not quite ready for a wind instrument yet.

The reason I love teaching is simple: music is fun, expressive and it brings people together. My goal is to help you enjoy making music as much as I do. Whether you’re just starting out or already have some experience, I’m here to support you, help you grow and guide you toward finding your own sound.

For me, teaching is all about enjoying the process, building confidence and getting creative with music. I’ll be there to encourage you every step of the way and I can’t wait to work with you and help you discover just how exciting and rewarding playing music can be!

Whether you're picking up the clarinet for the first time or looking to refine your skills, my lessons are designed to meet you where you are and help you grow. Each lesson is tailored to your individual needs, focusing on both technical skills and musical expression.

Here’s what you can expect:

Personalized Instruction: I’ll create a lesson plan that matches your current level, goals, and learning style. We’ll cover everything from the basics (like fingerings and embouchure) to more advanced techniques, such as tone production, articulation, and phrasing.

Flexible and Fun Approach: I believe that learning an instrument should be enjoyable! My teaching style is flexible, and I encourage students to explore different genres and pieces that inspire them, while also building a strong foundation.

Practice & Progress: We’ll set achievable goals each week, and I’ll give you tips on how to practice efficiently. Progress happens over time, and I’ll be there to support and motivate you along the way.

Music Theory and Sight-Reading: In addition to learning how to play, we’ll also cover music theory and sight-reading to help you better understand the music and become a more well-rounded musician.

Whether you want to play for fun, prepare for performances, or work towards exams, I’m here to help you succeed!
