Are you ready for a lesson experience that is above the rest?!

Hi! We are Ixi and Tiffany and we believe in teaching not only the clarinet, but how to practice, be brave, organize your life, and be well. Our lessons come with 1:1 time of course, but an array of other resources that will take your learning to entirely new heights like: 

• Access to our THRIVE membership at the Take Action level!
• Access to a growing library of clarinet essentials videos and resources
• Studio masterclass with Ixi Chen or Dr. Tiffany Valvo on Zoom

Let's jump in!

Meet Ixi Chen!

Ixi Chen is the co-director of the Digital Clarinet Academy and Music360, Adjunct Associate Professor of Clarinet at Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music and 2nd Clarinetist of the Cincinnati Symphony. She's deeply dedicated to empowering musicians to create the artistic career of their dreams, and develop the skills to transform their lives.   She's given masterclasses and clinics around the world and has chaired 6 clarinet auditions at the CSO! 

What they're saying: "I'm forever grateful for my time studying with Ms. Chen. She taught me not only to trust my musical instincts, but to push the boundaries; that music isn’t just about sound. And music is never just about the music. It’s about connecting with others, self-discovery, and bettering yourself and your community. She was instrumental in guiding me to this realization." 

Meet Dr. Tiffany Valvo!

Dr. Tiffany Valvo is the co-director of the Digital Clarinet Academy and Music360, the former clarinet professor at Virginia Commonwealth University and a general enthusiast about empowering people to fulfill their potential! Nothing makes her more excited than helping a student learn something new. She's presented on flexibility and extended techniques at multiple conferences and masterclasses because she's sincerely interested in how to get our bodies to do what we want musically through exploration and a little bit of trial and error.

What they're saying: "I honestly don't have time to list all the things Dr Valvo does amazingly. To put it frankly she is the most supportive, most motivational, understanding, kind, funny, professor in the whole music department and I know I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her."

We believe the most successful people aren't the most talented! They're the ones ready to jump into action. Want a free 15-min consultation? Want to ask us a questions?
