Adella Carlson

I recently received my BA in Music Performance, graduating summa cum laude from the University Honors Program at Eastern Connecticut State University. My primary teachers are Chris Howard, of the US Coast Guard band, and Andy Hudson and Anthony Taylor, who I am currently earning my MM with at the University of North Carolina Greensboro. During my Bachelor's degree at ECSU, I also studied piano with Rebecca Calissi. In my undergrad, I was a four time member of the New England Intercollegiate Band, 3 times as principal clarinetist and once as winner of the solo competition. I was also selected to perform in the music department honors recital all four years, as well as receiving the university's Undergraduate Creative Activity Fellowship and Outstanding Honors Thesis Award. I have spent summers at Brevard Music Center and the Philadelphia International Music Festival. In high school I was a member of many region, state, and national ensembles and can help students thoroughly prepare for those types of auditions. I am also able to help clarinet students of any age and skill level improve all facets of their playing. Don't hesitate to send me a message with any questions- I look forward to hearing from you!
