What students are saying

“Dr. Lapin is such an incredible teacher–clarinet teacher and just a teacher in general. He sees beyond the immediate problem and goes for what could be the root cause of it. He gets really heavy into how the music is constructed and how measures fit into phrases. We ask [questions like] ‘what message do you want that phrase to say?’ And I’m so grateful for that experience and teaching,”

“Dr. Lapin is down-to-earth and breaks down musical concepts so they're easy to understand.”
