Both my daughters love piano after the first free lesson and want to practice all the time. My 5 year old had a blast and was engaged every minute. My 9 year old also loved it. Ms G. was wonderful at keeping them both engaged virtually and also ensuring they had fun at their own pace. We look forward to many more piano lessons.

I am so happy with my voice instructor, Julia! She is helping me to reach out of my comfort zone to fulfill a lifelong dream. Her style of teaching is so fun you forget you are learning. I can’t thank her and Kerry (Director of Client Engagement) enough for their patience and professionalism.

What's the best age to start clarinet lessons?
The ideal age for a child to start clarinet lessons is typically between 7 and 9, but it largely depends on the child’s individual development and interest in learning the instrument. Additionally, the child should be able to hold and move their fingers on the clarinet for at least 15 to 20 minutes. Given the nature of playing the clarinet, it’s important that the child can breathe comfortably without any difficulties.
What type of clarinet should I buy?
For young clarinet players under the age of 15, it’s recommended to start with beginner or student models. These clarinets are typically constructed from sturdy materials such as ABS resin or hard rubber, known for the durability and affordable cost. Also, these models are made a bit smaller to fit comfortably in the hands of younger players. Brands like Yamaha, Buffet Crampon, and Selmer offer excellent options for young clarinetists, such as the Yamaha YCL-255 or Buffet Prodige.
Adult clarinet learners should consider at least beginner and intermediate clarinets. Popular brands like Buffet Crampon, Yamaha, and Selmer, including models such as the Buffet R13 or Yamaha YCL-650, are excellent choices for adult players.
Before you buy a clarinet, figure out your budget and what your musical goals are. Try different ones and get advice from a professional.
How often should I practice clarinet?
The frequency and duration of your clarinet practice vary based on your schedule, age, skill level, and musical goals. Our instructors recommend setting aside a regular daily practice time, aiming for an average of around 20 minutes, excluding the time spent on setup and putting away the clarinet. The important thing is to build and stick to a consistent practice routine, stay committed, and find joy in the gradual process of learning the clarinet.
What can I expect out of my first online clarinet lesson?
First, you will learn the optimal way to set up the sound, position your clarient, and arrange your screen. Teachers may ask you several questions about your musical goals, pieces you’ve played and practice habits, and any challenges you face when playing the clarinet. Based on your answers, your teacher will suggest warm-up exercises and techniques to help you build your clarinet skills. Throughout the lesson, your instructor will help you with improving your posture, fingering, breathing, understanding of music theory, and expanding your repertoire.
Is music theory necessary for clarinet lessons?
Absolutely! Music theory is key to expanding your clarinet repertoire and mastering techniques. A solid understanding of music theory, including notes, scales, and key signatures, provides you with the ability to interpret music more effectively. It’s a valuable tool that lets you navigate challenging pieces and collaborate seamlessly with other musicians. Overall, practicing music theory will improve your clarinet techniques and enrich your musical experience.
You can explore various methods to learn and practice music theory, such as practicing with music theory exercises and learning concepts from the theory focused books.
Are there specific exercises to improve my finger technique on the clarinet?
To get better at moving your fingers on the clarinet, try exercises that make your fingers more flexible and coordinated. Start with scales, arpeggios, and chromatic runs, going faster as you get better. Also, practice tricky parts from your repertoire at a much slower speed. If you’re not sure where to begin, ask your instructor for some helpful tips.
How should I maintain and care for my clarinet?
Here are some recommendations on how to keep your clarinet in top condition. First, regularly swab the inside with a cleaning cloth after playing, wipe the keys with a soft cloth, and clean the mouthpiece with a brush.
You should also store the instrument in a case when you’re not using it to avoid extreme temperatures and humidity. If you find loose screws or pads, make sure to repair them quickly. Additionally, use cork grease to lubricate the cork joints.
