Introduction

Hello! My name is Samuel Sparrow and I am a clarinetist based in Charlotte, NC. I am available for performance gigs and clarinet lessons (in person and online), and have a passion for education and outreach events.

I am happy to work with students of all ages and abilities! I create a plan with each student based on his or her goals and come up with as many creative ways as possible to achieve them. I am also happy to work with groups or ensembles as well.

Please find some of my performance and teaching highlights below. Feel free to contact me with any questions or inquiries, and I hope to work with you soon!
