Private Lessons
Woodwinds
Class Description
At Arts+, we provide private lessons for students learning the flute, clarinet, saxophone, oboe, and recorder. Individualized instruction ensures that you will have an education to fit your needs and interests. Beginners will learn the basics of note reading and embouchure while advanced students can explore repertoire in a variety of styles. Whatever your skill, experience, or background, our teachers will help you to achieve your potential.
Our woodwind students can learn in a variety of styles to match their interest. Students interested in jazz, blues, and rock can take part in Arts+ gigs throughout the city at local venues. Those who prefer classical styles have the opportunity to showcase their talents at recitals each semester with an accompanist provided.

How young can a student start woodwind lessons?
Students can start on most woodwinds instruments as young as about Grade 3, depending on the size of the student. Due to the size of the instrument itself, students have to grow enough to be able to properly hold the instrument, reach the keys, cover any tone holes, and have enough breath support. Clarinet, flute, and saxophone are all great beginner instruments.
What if my student isn’t old enough yet?
A fantastic alternative for young children to start learning to play and read music is the recorder. Through the recorder, students will learn breath control, note reading, and other fundamental skills for later success on the larger wind instruments.
Whatever your style and passion, we have a teacher for you:
- Jazz
- Classical
- Blues
- Rock
- And More!
