Beginner lessons are designed for students who are interested in learning a new instrument or better appreciating an instrument they already love.

Almaden School of Music & Art is San Jose’s premier music school offering quality music education to the students of all age groups. We are the best music school in San Jose, offering students necessary training and guidance to make students emerge out as successful musicians

Our woodwind instructors will teach all styles of music, from learning to play by ear to reading music. If you want to play classical music or incorporate your instrument into modern music, we have a teacher for you. Students can be as young as 5 years old, or younger with the teacher's approval

Clarinet Lessons are offered by NY Ensemble Classes. Our classes are taught by two instructors specialized in different instruments. Each ensemble is assigned to multiple teachers scheduled on rotation. This unique course design provides an enhanced and deeper learning experience.

Generally the child needs to be able to support the clarinet and reach and cover all the keys with his/her hands. Most children can do this by around 5th grade. If the child is ready for this before 5th grade, great! If not, starting on a recorder or other child-friendly instrument is recommended
