I have been playing the Clarinet ever since I was 12! I play on Bb 1975 Buffet R13 with Walter Grabner Special Order mouthpiece, I also have a Ridneour ligature, although I have been known to use black elastic, or even plumbing "goomies" My favorite reeds are Gonzales, and La Voz.
This is a very special picture of me playing on a Selmer Eb, which I inherited from Jim Ewing, when I was !st Chair in the Santa Monica Municipal Concert Band. On Eb, Mitchel Lurie Springboard ligature and I use Gonzales reeds, 2.5,
Each Clarinet student has different needs. For younger students, I teach them at their level, with more songs and less fingering exercises. For older students I use a more theory centered approach. It all depends upon your needs and goals.
I have taught all the way up to Bagrut standard in Clarinet Performance.
Make the Clarinet part of your life and you will always have that special feeling that you can master this beautiful instrument.

Rachael taught our son the clarinet and took extra trouble to find music for his E-flat clarinet. He enjoyed learning with her for almost 4 years and I would recommend Rachael as a teacher of adults and children.

This book is hot off the press and it is the best book I have found for learning to play the clarinet. There are nice exercises, duets and Chassidic songs.
