With Dr. Davis's experience as both a clarinetist and a former band director, students will have the benefit of hearing input on their playing not only from the performer perspective but also from a more general perspective with regard for how the clarinet fits into the larger picture of the band, orchestra, and chamber music setting while also learning in-depth techniques on how to break down and prepare solo unaccompanied and with piano repertoire.
