Woodwind Lessons
Overview
Whether you’re interested in flute, clarinet, or saxophone, our experienced instructors offer woodwind lessons that help students of all ages build strong fundamentals. Each lesson focuses on tone production, breath control, technique, and music reading, while also incorporating fun and familiar songs to keep students motivated. You don’t need to own a professional instrument to get started—many students begin with a quality student model or rental.

What styles of woodwind lessons do you teach?
For all woodwind instruments (flute, saxophone, clarinet, and more) we teach a mixture of methods
with emphasis on reading music, handling and care of the instrument and learning a repertoire appealing to the student. Although we utilize method books to structure lessons, we also allow the student to choose the type of music they want to learn to play. We feel you can learn your instrument from the music of Disney or Broadway Musicals just as effectively as you can from Bach, Beethoven or Brahms!
How qualified are your woodwind instructors?
Our teachers come from diverse backgrounds, including degreed musicians, session/gigging musicians, and teachers pursuing their own continuing musical education. This variety ensures that we have a teacher who aligns with your goals and learning style, as not every student learns the same way. Learn more about our current woodwind teachers here.
What will I learn from woodwind lessons at the Stage 1 Music?
Our teachers understand that every student is an individual, with personal musical needs and goals. We make it a priority to tailor how we teach and what we teach to your individual needs. If you enroll here for woodwind lessons, your teacher will ask you about your favorite type of music, and set goals to help accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for yourself or your child. Together, you will develop a plan to achieve your goals! We love beginners, so even if you don’t know where to begin, we can help!
