What are you going to learn?
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.
Clarinet lessons for children and adults
The lessons are for young and old, from beginner to advanced! After all, anyone can learn to play this beautiful instrument. And can you already blow a decent note? You can still learn a lot from these pros!
Lessons with our teachers are intended for later playing in our orchestra. First in the step-up orchestra and later, when the right level is reached, in the large orchestra. As a student, you also become a compulsory member of HCT.
Don't own a clarinet yet?
That's no problem. As a member of HCT you can borrow an instrument for free! (If in stock)
