in Band & Orchestra
With clarinets serving a crucial role in both symphony orchestra and band, it is imperative for all instrumental teachers to understand how to tune their clarinet sections. Our friends at D'Addario have put together a quick video with Kim Cole Luevano, Professor of Clarinet at the University of North Texas explaining the tuning process, as well as troubleshooting techniques. I encourage you to check it out and add her ideas to your bag of tricks!

Join and collaborate with a community of educators sharing lessons, resources, and teaching tips useful for you and your students!

Wishing you all a wonderful end to your school year!
