The mellow sounds of
The Clarinet
German instrument maker Johann Christoph Denner is generally credited with inventing the clarinet sometime around 1700. Over time, additional keywork and airtight pads were added to improve the tone and playability. Today the clarinet is a standard fixture of the orchestra and concert band and is used in classical music, military bands, jazz, and other styles.
Our very own clarinet guru, Christine Vermeulen, has been playing the clarinet for more than 40 years. Her extensive knowledge and skills had her playing in a number of professional orchestras and ensembles over the years. This passion for the clarinet assures that you will not only learn to play the clarinet with skill, but ultimately fall in love with it’s mellow sound.
