The Problem With Other Programs
Many of our students come to us after trying other lessons that just didn’t work for them. They’ve tried video courses or apps, like YouTube, Suzuki, and TakeLessons, that lack customization options, or they worked with instructors who weren’t properly trained.
Because of this, they didn’t achieve the results they hoped for. They often struggled through sessions in frustration, feeling like they were being forced to teach themselves. Their instructors showed them what to do, but not how to do it well. This led to lost time, wasted money, and drained motivation.
Thankfully, there’s good news! You've just found the #1 program for learning music in a reliable and scientific way. Our Arpeggio® lesson system, designed right here at Sage Music®, is guaranteed to set you up for success.
Different Clarinet Lesson Types
We offer a variety of clarinet lessons tailored to suit different interests and goals. Below are some of the most popular options, but if you don’t see what you’re looking for, feel free to reach out and ask what else is available.
Private Clarinet Lessons
Private instruction is the key to achieving the best results, which is why we prioritize private lessons in our program. That's why we dedicate significant resources to our teacher training and private lesson program.
While group classes are beneficial for building a sense of community, learning ensemble skills, and more, they’re no replacement for one-on-one sessions when it comes to mastering the clarinet. We offer group lessons as a supplement to our private teaching program so that students can enjoy the best of both worlds.
Classical Clarinet Lessons
Many of our students are drawn to the timeless works of classical masters such as Brahms, Chopin, Liszt, Beethoven, and Mozart. Performing this style of music requires precision, focus, and refined skills.
Our staff of educators, who hold advanced music degrees and have played clarinet professionally, are uniquely qualified to guide you on this journey. Whether you’re exploring classical music for fun or preparing for competitions like NYSSMA, we’ll help you deliver exceptional performances. No matter what you’re hoping to achieve, Sage Music in New York will support your growth and success as a classical clarinetist.
Jazz Clarinet Lessons
From the iconic sounds of Rhapsody in Blue to early jazz classics, the clarinet has long been a cornerstone of American music. If your dream is to one day join a traditional jazz band, our instructors can help. We’ll teach you to read charts, improvise fluently, and develop that singular jazz sound.
