Common questions

Your 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.

What age can kids start?

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

Do you teach bass clarinet?

Yes, especially as a second instrument after B♭ clarinet.

In-home clarinet lessons in Murray Hill 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 Murray Hill?

Yes! Our clarinet teachers travel directly to your Murray Hill home for every lesson. You can also choose online lessons if that's more convenient. Same teacher, same time each week.
