Besides my career as a freelance clarinetist giving concerts in Belgium and abroad, I have more than 30 years of experience in teaching music. Where I supervise students from 6 years old. To learn the basics, I recommend looking for a clarinet teacher who can guide you in an academy or privately. If you have mastered the basics, or have finished training, I would like to guide you in interpreting the repertoire, or to deal with specific problems such as respiratory problems, staccato, mouthpiece, etc.
