Join Joseph Espinoza, Churchill HS; Jacqueline Castillo, Neff MS; Shaun Guzman, D’Addario Artist; and myself at TMEA 2022. We will be discussing key concepts when teaching beginner clarinet. Topics will include suggested equipment, a systematic process for instrument interviews, reeds and reed preservation, embouchure, tone production, articulation, technique, and supplemental materials to be used during the first years of clarinet instruction.
