Sheridan Studio of Music

Kristen Sheridan is an amazing clarinet teacher! I have studied with Kristen, and taught clarinet alongside her and she is truly the definition of what a clarinet teacher should be. She gives 100% to her students, and will do whatever it takes to help them succeed. From beginners to the collegiate level, Kristen knows how to help and support her students! After studying with Kristen, my colleagues noticed a huge difference in my technique and sound. She has been one of the most influential teachers in my life, and I can honestly say that I would not have gotten in to a top ranked graduate clarinet performance program without her. If you are looking for a clarinet teacher for your child, or even for yourself, look no further!

Without a doubt, Kristen Sheridan is a phenomenal private clarinet teacher and you would be hard-​pressed to find a better all-​around music and educational mentor. I studied with Mrs. Sheridan for over three years and I can honestly say that I have her to thank for much of my musical success. Lessons with her are always entertaining, exciting, insightful, and best of all, enjoyable. I have come across very few music teachers who are able to make lessons consistently engaging and fun while effective and Mrs. Sheridan is certainly one of them. She knows how to train and push you to your full potential while never leaving you feeling discouraged. Her insight on clarinet playing is inspiring and she is able to prepare you for anything (playing for fun, school-​band music, chamber playing, gig performances, ensemble auditions, college auditions, etc.). Studying with Mrs. Sheridan always made me feel confident walking into an audition. Under her instruction, I was selected to district band, regional orchestra and all-​state band every year. I also had much success with my college audition and application process by being accepted into almost every school I applied to. I have recommended Mrs. Sheridan to several friends over the years and every single one of them has absolutely loved studying with her.
I consider Mrs. Sheridan as one of the most influential people in my life and she is greatly responsible for shaping me into the musician I am today. She is an inspiring mentor, fantastic teacher, and a great friend. Even to this day, I still contact her for advice when needed. It’s too bad that I can’t just have her as a clarinet professor in college!
