Hello, I am Oriane, a french dancer and musician, passionate about the clarinet, movement, traditional music and creativity. My background is in folk music and oral transmission, particularly klezmer music. I teach in a fun and engaging way and because of my experience as a dancer I place a strong emphasis on the body, breath and the inner sensations in order to develop a rich sound quality but also to make playing the clarinet joyful, enjoyable and relaxing. Apart from basic technique, I can teach: - tunes and contemporary folk music from France and other western European countries as well as South America. - klezmer (jewish) music, including the typical modes, phrasing and ornaments. - improvisation games to develop one's creativity and confidence in one's capacity to improvise - advanced techniques such as slap tonguing or circular breathing Learning can be done by ear or with music sheets depending on the student's preference. I like to play duets so that my students feel like they are doing music from the very beginning of the learning process and develop their musicality early on. I would love to support you on your musical journey with this fantastic instrument!
