Clarinet lessons.
The clarinet is a fascinating woodwind instrument with a warm, round sound and remarkable expressive power. In clarinet lessons at Music Campus Berlin, you'll learn step by step how to develop this special sound and use it musically. The clarinet can sound soft and soulful, but also bright, lively and virtuosic. Thanks to its wide range, it's just as suited to melodic solo playing as it is to playing in an ensemble or orchestra. In clarinet lessons in Berlin, you'll work on breathing, embouchure and ear training while building focus and musical sensitivity.
Whether it's classical, jazz or modern music, the clarinet is incredibly versatile and gives you plenty of room to develop your own sound and style. Clarinet lessons at Music Campus Berlin are for beginners and advanced players who want to discover this special instrument and keep growing as musicians. Learning the clarinet gives you a strong musical foundation and an ideal way into the world of woodwinds.
Finger, blow,
overblow.
Tap the tone holes to cover them, from top to bottom. Start with the thumb hole “T”. Then hold down “Blow”, tap the mouthpiece or use the space bar. The small “R” key is the register key: the clarinet doesn’t jump up an octave but a twelfth.
How your clarinet lessons work.
The first lessons
Embouchure, breathing and your first notes in the low register, the chalumeau. You'll learn to cover the tone holes securely and will soon be playing your first melodies.
Over time
The register key takes you into the higher register, the clarion. Add scales, articulation and a repertoire ranging from classical and jazz to film music and klezmer.
For kids and adults
For kids from age 6, there are smaller, lighter clarinets that make getting started easier. Adults love the warm, round sound and the range of styles.
Practising at home
Change your reeds regularly and wipe the instrument dry after playing. Short daily practice sessions strengthen your embouchure and tone.
