Nadeen Fankhauser Clarinet Performance And Pedagogy

Specialties

Nadeen Fankhauser offers clarinet lessons to students of all ages and levels. Her teaching style is highly dependent on the individual learning style of the student. Lessons are generally a healthy balance of encouragement, instruction, fun, and establishment of high performance standards.

History

Established in 1994.

In the course of my nearly 20 years of teaching the clarinet, I have taught many hundreds of students ages 7 to 55 at various schools, music institutions, universities, and summer programs. A great number of these students achieved a very high level of playing, being awarded placement into state and regional honor ensembles, concerto performance opportunities, and several prestigious college music programs.
