Clarinet Tuition for Children and Young People

Breath support and tonal control
Finger coordination and articulation
Sight-reading and rhythm
Aural training and interpretation

Students are also encouraged to explore solo and ensemble playing, helping them develop listening skills, phrasing, and a sense of musical collaboration.

FAQs

A. Yes, from the age of six years old. Earlier than this can be challenging for young learners because they may not have the lung capacity to play a wind instrument. Many children above the age of six, however, take to the clarinet quickly thanks to its ergonomic design. Our tutors adapt their teaching to suit younger learners, using techniques that make early learning engaging and enjoyable.
A. Not necessarily. For new students, especially beginners, we recommend starting with a rental. This allows your child to try the instrument without committing to the full cost of purchase. Our tutors can guide you through reputable rental schemes and help you choose a well-suited student model if and when you decide to invest in an instrument.
A. Absolutely. Our tutors are highly experienced in preparing students for graded music exams (ABRSM, Trinity) and music scholarship auditions at Britain’s leading independent music schools.
