There is no true progress in creative fields without the effort to look outside one's own or an organization's immediate culture to bring the lesser-known to light. Ultimately, diversity, equity, inclusion, and access means better musical and artistic experiences for everyone, whether audience, composer, artist, performer, or presenter.

 

At the Clever Clarinetist, I am deeply committed to fostering an environment of diversity, equity, inclusion, and access in all facets of my musical endeavors. I believe that music has the power to transcend boundaries, unify communities, and empower individuals from all walks of life. 

 

My personal mission is to empower individuals through inclusive and enriching musical encounters. I strive to create a welcoming space that celebrates the unique perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences that each person brings. I am dedicated to cultivating an environment where diversity is not just acknowledged but celebrated.

​

I am firmly committed to fostering equity by ensuring fair treatment, opportunities, and advancement for all. I actively seek to dismantle barriers that inhibit inclusivity and strive to provide equal access to resources, education, and opportunities within the realm of music.

​

Inclusivity is at the core of my values. I aim to create a supportive and respectful atmosphere where everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, ability, socio-economic status, or beliefs, feels valued, heard, and respected. I actively listen to diverse perspectives and actively work to amplify marginalized voices.

​

Accessibility is fundamental to my mission. I am dedicated to navigating, limiting, and removing barriers that limit participation in musical experiences. Through various initiatives and accommodations, I endeavor to make my music accessible and enjoyable for all audiences, students, clients, and performers.

​

I understand that my journey toward diversity, equity, inclusion, and access is ongoing. I am committed to continuously learning, growing, and evolving my practices to better serve my community and create a more equitable and inclusive musical landscape.

​

Join me as I champion diversity, equity, inclusion, and access in music, empowering individuals, inspiring creativity, and fostering a harmonious world through the universal language of music.
