Our second clarinet teacher is Ana Prazares, since 2023. Ana received her master's degree from the Conservatory of Amsterdam in 2021. She plays with the Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra and the Concertgebouw Chamber Orchestra, among others. You can take lessons with her on Tuesday afternoons and evenings in the rehearsal space of HCT.
Our teachers will teach you everything you need to know to play your instrument well. Of course, you will learn the right blowing and fingering technique by practicing a lot. But you will also learn how to select or work a good reed, which mouthpiece is best to use and how to maintain your instrument. Too much to mention.
Depending on your level, you can quickly get acquainted with playing together with other musicians in the beginners band or concert band of HCT.
The lessons are for young and old, from beginner to advanced! Everyone can learn to play this beautiful instrument. And can you already play a nice piece? Tom and Sophie still have a lot to teach you!
The lessons with our teachers are intended for you to later play in our orchestra. First in the entry-level orchestra and later, when the right level has been reached, in the concert band. As a student you also become a member of HCT.
That's no problem. As a member of HCT you can borrow an instrument for free! (If in stock)
You want more information about lessons in combination with a membership? Contact us or visit us on a Tuesday night. You are free to enter until 9:15 pm.
