The learning experience
Good foundations.
Room to be you.
Music lessons should build skills and keep curiosity alive. Todd brings 40+ years of teaching experience to that balance.
Start where you are.
New to your instrument, returning after a break, or ready for a challenge? Lessons begin with your experience, interests, and goals.
Connect the pieces.
Notes, music theory, sight-reading, and musicality become part of making music—not just exercises on a page.
Keep music at the heart.
Put new skills into the music you play, with patient guidance and specific things to work on between lessons.
In their words
The music matters.
So does the connection.
“He has good rapport with them but is also really good at keeping the lesson moving and on task.”

“My oldest son has been receiving music lessons from Mr. Clickard for the last two years. In that time, he has learned music theory in addition to notes and musicality for the trumpet and then for the clarinet. My younger son started receiving lessons from Mr. Clickard this last year and has likewise been learning the clarinet. Both are progressing quite well. They can play a variety of tunes with fluidity and can slowly sight-read new songs with ease and confidence. Mr. Clickard uses a method that moves the student along in an engaging way. He is such an accomplished musician, which is inspiring to my children, and they particularly enjoy playing his own fun compositions which he tailors to what they have recently learned. Both my children enjoy Mr. Clickard’s lessons. He has good rapport with them but is also really good at keeping the lesson moving and on task. I highly recommend Mr. Clickard for your music program.”
“He not only provided great musical training but also he acted as a wonderful role model.”

"Todd was my son's private saxophone instructor as well as the head of the school's jazz band. He not only provided great musical training but also he acted as a wonderful role model. I can't say enough about his influence, most notably his support in helping my son pursue a jazz studies major in college with a merit scholarship."
