Question:I am currently looking for a second job and am willing to give private lessons over my summer break from college to those Clarinetists in grades 4 through 11. I live on Long Island, NY in Suffolk County. I will be a senior at The Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam come this Fall. I am studying under their Music Education program and also have a certificate in Performance. I have many other music credentials dating from back in middle school. If you are interested please feel free to contact me through my yahoo e-mail at:

Thanks!

Answers:
You sound wonderful. The problem may be you are limiting your service to the clarinet. And there probably are only a few students in that age range that want to practice clarinet this summer. It seems you could tutor more. Broaden your "audience". Could you do a week of music camp and charge for this? Just an idea. Why don't you advertise in your local area and network with music educators there. Best wishes.
