Testimonials

  • “Mr. Harry is a professional clarinet player and teacher. He has incredible passion for the clarinet and I was able to see this daily during our lessons. For example, in one of our lessons, he introduced me to a method to prevent reed warping, which he invented himself through experimenting. He is also very well organized and is always punctual to our lessons. Finally, he has helped me improve my clarinet playing through his instructions. I can now play high notes and songs that I wasn’t able to before. “

  • Entering my first year of high school, I wanted to take my casual clarinet playing to another level–and I cannot thank Harry enough for all the work he's done to help me achieve my clarinet goals. In classes, he is an understanding teacher, with a unique teaching style that brings a lot of fun to his lessons. He always does his best to give students opportunities to succeed, and without him, I might not have ever tried applying (nor have gotten accepted) to a youth symphony. With his help, I have seen my growth as a clarinet player in technique and skill, and feel motivated to practice and try my best. Most of all, he taught me not only how to be a better clarinet player, but also how to be the best musician I can be. Thank you so much, Harry!

  • After a year at Harry’s studio, I’ve not only improved on technique and fundamentals, but musicality as well. With his exercises and guidance, I found myself being able to play with almost any passage more efficiently. The truth is that Harry doesn’t only teach the clarinet incredibly well, but he also teaches you how to tell the audience who you are through your playing. His guidance on musical phrasing and storytelling are why I look forward to playing for him every lesson.

  • “After two months of learning with you, Brayden is now able to play full range notes of the clarinet with basic musical knowledge without any prior experience. You teach him with patience, assist him to play the correct notes, and point out where he needs to improve. We are so grateful to have you teaching Brayden, and hope you can continue to teach him.”

  • “Mr. Harry is patient, polite, and nice with my son. He taught my son about the clarinet, including how to handle it and different exercises and strategies for bringing out the sound, as well as how to read the notes. My son struggled at first, but as he mastered the method, he began to like it. He has a lot of musical experience and is a great teacher who is very adaptable. My favorite part was hearing my son and him playing together.”
