“My piano lessons are fun. I like learning new pieces, especially Swans on the Lake and The Chimes. I liked the recital because I got to hear everyone perform and hear what they’ve been working on.”
Abby, Edgewater student
“I always looked forward to my clarinet lessons with Ms. Chappell each week for 6 years, from middle school through the end of high school. These lessons flew by because her teaching style addressed every part of the performance, from technique changes (like finger placement and embouchure) to self-awareness and posture. The rate of improvement was astounding. My ensemble conductors frequently commented on my advanced ability and confidence to attempt difficult pieces and solos. I earned several opportunities to perform as concert mistress and was featured in many solos.”
Amy, former Severna Park clarinet student
“I like how she answers my questions on things I don’t know. She is very patient with me.”
Halie, Edgewater student

Charlotte, Edgewater student
“I found Sandra Chappell to be an excellent clarinet teacher for my daughter as well as a very talented and accomplished musician. Sandra encouraged my daughter’s love of music and the clarinet, coached her through any difficulties, and motivated her to keep trying. My daughter became a much more accomplished and confident musician under Sandra’s direction.
“An important part of this long-term experience included Sandra’s natural ability to provide a welcoming and encouraging environment. My daughter always wanted to go to her lesson and ended each session with a smile, even when she was struggling with a piece of music or technique. I appreciated Sandra’s flexibility and patience as well as her ability to challenge my daughter to be the best she could be. Sandra is an excellent clarinet teacher and I highly recommend her for students at all levels.”
Debbie, Millersville parent of former clarinet student
