The Clarinet
Ashton - Year 7 Clarinettist
Ashton - Year 7 Clarinettist
We are currently looking for students, particularly from years 7 or 8, who would be interested in learning the clarinet. The clarinet is like the violin section of an orchestra in a concert band. It is a single reed instrument from the woodwind family which produces a beautiful sonorous sound and has a large pitch range. For students, the beauty is its portability and relatively small size. They can also play a range of styles of music.
We have several clarinets at school available for hire/purchase. Students are welcome to come down to the music centre to try one and even attend a lesson to see if it suits them.
New clarinet students would be in the Junior Band which rehearses after school on Wednesdays until 4:15pm. Anyone is welcome to attend these rehearsals to have a listen and see what we do. We are currently working towards the Autumn Concert playing ‘Jaws’ theme, ‘We will Rock You’, ‘Hot Cross Buns’ and a few other great charts.
Check out the sites below to see if the sound of the clarinet is for you.
