This “little trumpet,” hailing from the woodwind family, has drawn many supporters over the years, such as Sidney Bechet, Artie Shaw, Pete Fountain, Benny Goodman, and yes, even the famous writer/filmmaker Woody Allen. We're talking about the clarinet, a single reed instrument with a large selection of varying pitches and a multi-faceted history of tones and forms.

Clarinets have found a prominent place in several forms of music, most notably in big band productions, in classical and orchestral works, and in Dixieland jazz. Some people, in recent years, have formed quartets, or even choirs, devoted solely to clarinet playing.

In these free video lessons, our expert will show you how to begin playing the clarinet. From clarinet care and maintenance to tuning techniques, here's everything you need to get started. Learn how to play clarinet: it’s an easy lesson for absolute beginners.
