Clarinet Lessons
Clarinet materials

When beginning lessons with Mrs. Leslie, clarinet students must have their own clarinet and mouthpiece, ligature and reeds, in good working order. There are many good clarinet options available, so we can work with what the student has, and make suggestions of what equipment may best aid and enhance their playing.  As lessons progress, certain accessories such as a neck strap, cleaning tools, mouthpiece cushions, thumb rest cushions, metronomes, tuners, reed care items, etc. may be suggested and must be purchased by the student or parent. Depending on the age and experience level of the student, Mrs. Leslie will also assign appropriate method books or scale/etude books or exercises, and solo repertoire.

​

Links to favorite items that Mrs. Leslie uses in her playing on a regular basis are below:
