The clarinet is the sister of the saxophone, as both have a mouthpiece with a simple wooden reed and therefore belong to the woodwind family. The two instruments are also similar in terms of their characteristics: So there is a different instrument for each register, from soprano to bass. Among the large number of wind instruments, the clarinet has by far the largest range of around four octaves - depending on the skills of the clarinettist. To simplify production and transport, the clarinet consists of five separate parts that are inserted into each other with cork-covered pins.
Whether as a solo instrument, in a band or in an orchestra - the clarinet is an instrument that can be used in almost any style. At our music school in Leipzig, you will learn the clarinet in a playful way. Our studied Clarinet teachers support you on your musical path, show you the right technique and give you an insight into the different areas of application.

Frequently asked questions
-
Do you offer clarinet lessons for children?
Whether young or old: everyone is welcome here! Children and young people learn intuitively and playfully. The joy of trying things out and discovering new things is our main focus. Children of all ages can learn to play the clarinet very quickly and accompany selected songs. A quick sense of achievement is therefore guaranteed!
Our professional Teachers are all trained in music education and incorporate technique and theory into the lessons in a child-orientated and didactically sensible way.
You can start directly if your child has already chosen an instrument or already has previous knowledge. If your child is still unsure which instrument is best, we recommend attending the Instrument carousels.

No matter whether you want to learn a specific piece on the clarinet or simply fulfil your long-awaited dream of playing the clarinet: We offer personalised lessons that are tailored exactly to you and your needs.
If, for professional or family reasons, you would prefer to come to lessons at longer intervals rather than weekly, we also have a solution for this: Our Prepaid cards. Talk to your teacher or ask our friendly colleagues in the office for more information.
