Common questions

Clarinet questions, answered.

Do I need my own clarinet?

Yes — consistent practice needs your own instrument. A plastic student clarinet is fine to start; we can help with rental or purchase.

Is clarinet hard to learn?

First sounds come quickly. The infamous 'break' between registers takes a few months to master, but most students get there with consistent practice.

What age can kids start?

Typically age 8+, once front teeth are stable and lung capacity is sufficient.

How much are clarinet lessons in East Harlem?

In-home clarinet lessons in East Harlem start at $75 for 30 minutes. Studio and online lessons start at $50. We also offer memberships from $99/month for students who want weekly lessons.

Do your teachers travel to East Harlem?
