Faculty Profile

Colleen Corning
NMS Clarinet Faculty

Colleen Corning is excited to be on board as a faculty member at New Music School. Her goal as an instructor is to help students find their voice on the clarinet by creating a quality tone and providing them with challenging, but level appropriate studies. Whether they are beginning, intermediate or advanced, each student should find success in making music that they are proud of. By offering a challenging, yet encouraging environment based in foundational clarinet study, each student at any level can make progress.

Having studied with some of the world's finest clarinet players, Colleen is privileged to bring those experiences to her own students. Having been an instructor in Chicago for seven years, she has students who have been awarded for top achievements at their respective high schools, and who have participated in IMEA and Midwest Young Artists.

Colleen received her Bachelor and Master of Music from the Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University specializing in clarinet performance. From 2006-2009 she was an active substitute in the Civic Orchestra of Chicago. Colleen has attended the Aspen Music Festival, and has recently been appointed to the associate list of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra.
