About the clarinet

Is the clarinet right for my child?

What it is like to learn

A warm, rich sound with a huge range from low and dark to high and bright. It is one of the most useful instruments in a band, and there are usually a lot of clarinets.

Who it suits

The fingerings take a little longer to learn than flute, but the clarinet rewards children who practise steadily.

How it works

The clarinet is a single reed woodwind instrument. A thin cane reed vibrates against the mouthpiece to make the sound.

Not sure yet? In our Foundation Programme your child tries a few instruments first, and we recommend the best fit. Our guide Which band instrument should my child learn? compares them all.

How your child learns at BAS

Clarinet lessons for every stage

New to the clarinet

Start with the BAS Foundation Programme, for children aged 7 and above with no band experience. Your child tries a few instruments, we recommend the best fit, and lessons begin with Ms Dorean Tan. Saturdays, 10 to 11.30am, 20 sessions per semester.

Already plays the clarinet

Join the BAS Ensembles. Students are placed by playing ability in the Junior or Senior Ensemble and rehearse on Saturdays with our music directors, with more music to play and more chances to perform.

One to one coaching

Individual Coaching matches your child with a tutor from the BAS network or a VENTUS musician. It can be taken alongside the ensembles, or on its own. Preparing for an audition? See DSA Preparation.
