Believe it or not 63.8% of our students are adults
Whether you want to be a professional musician or have had lifelong dreams of playing music, you’ll find yourself in good company at Sage Music.
Our students range from absolute beginners to intermediate players to advanced professionals looking to improve their skills and practice.
No matter what you want to learn, we’ll get you there.
Clarinet Lessons For Beginners
Don’t want to play kids songs? No worry! We’ll work with you to help you play the music that you want. We personalize our lessons for you.
Sometimes we can jump right in with what you want, but other times it takes a little prep work. But we’ll always get you there.
In fact, most of our clarinet students are adult beginners. So you’ll find a welcoming environment with a team that knows how to work with folks just like you.
Intermediate Clarinet Lessons
As an advancing clarinetist, we’ve got the skills to get your clarinet playing to the next level. We’ve worked with beginners and pros, so we know exactly how to get you from one level to the next.
Advanced Clarinet Lessons
Our students have included cast members of Saturday Night Live, Broadway performers, and producers coming to work on their keyboard skills. We’ve even helped students prepare for graduate degree auditions.
We go above and beyond other programs by developing more advanced skills, practice habits, and learning techniques. You’ll learn more music, in a shorter amount of time, and with greater skill and security.
Clarinet Lessons for Kids
Develop your child’s skills in a fun and engaging way
Just like you, we want to see your kid have fun, enjoy music, and grow into a capable, successful adult. And we also know you want a program you can trust because you are busy with so many things.
That’s what we’ve designed our Arpeggio® lesson system to do. Systems such as Suzuki, ABRSM, the Royal Conservatory simply provide a sequence of songs to play. But our system is designed to develop your child’s skills, enabling them to play any music they want. That’s real growth, and real learning.
Guaranteed Results
In addition, our system provides you with detailed notes every week so you can stay in touch with your child’s development. Plus your child will have the opportunity to perform every week in our student sharing hour, in our open mics, or in our regular recitals. This gives you results that you and your child can see.
Beginner Clarinet Lessons For Kids
As the popularity of band programs and marching bands increase, we are seeing more students wanting to learn the clarinet. We've helped many students go from no experience to being the best in their section. We'll help your child develop strong fundamentals on the clarinet.
Clarinet Lessons For Intermediate Kids
Once your kid has learned the fundamentals on the clarinet, it's time to start putting them to use. That's why we offer student sharing hours, ensembles, and other performing opportunities to help them grow as a clarinetist.
Advanced Kids Clarinet Lessons
Some of our young clarinet students have taken a serious interest in playing. We've helped them win auditions into college music programs, charter and magnet schools, and talented programs across the country. Contact us so we can help you do the same.

Clarinet Lesson Reviews
Other Programs
Most of our students come to us after they have tried lessons somewhere else. They tried video courses or lessons that weren’t personlized for them – YouTube, Suzuki, TakeLessons or Artistworks. They took lessons with teachers who were not trained professionals.
And they just didn’t see the results they wanted.
They didn’t get better or ended up frustrated. They paid for videos but still had to teach themselves. They took lessons with someone who showed them what to do, but not how to do it.
And that left them unhappy. Feeling like they wasted time and money. So they looked for a better program.
The good news is that you’ve just found the #1 science backed program, guaranteed to get you results. That’s the Arpeggio® lessons system, designed right here at Sage Music®.
Types of Clarinet Lessons
We teach all kinds of clarinet lessons, and the following are the most popular. Please reach out if you have a specific request that isn't mentioned below.
Private Clarinet Lessons
We believe that private lessons with one-on-one instruction provide you with the best chance of success. That's why we invest so much into our teacher training and private lesson program.
Most group classes are not very effective for learning to play the clarinet. However, they do provide some benefits like community, learning ensemble skills, and more. So we offer additional group classes to our private clarinet students so they can develop those skills, too.
Classical Clarinet Lessons
Many of our students are interested in learning the music of the past masters of the clarinet like Brahms, Chopin, Liszt, Beethoven and Mozart. This music requires a high level of focus, precision, and skill. Our faculty, with master’s degrees in clarinet performance, have performed this music all over the world and gained the experience necessary to help you develop the skills you need to making meaningful and masterful performances of this great repertoire. Many of our students learn this music for fun, while others are preparing for Master’s Degree, College, or competitions like NYSSMA. Whatever your goals, we are happy to help you flourish as a classical clarinetist.
Jazz Clarinet Lessons
Ever since rhapsody in blue and early jazz, the clarinet has been a staple in American music. If you want to learn to improvise in a traditional jazz band, read charts, and get that classic jazz sound, we can help you achieve that goal.
