I have dedicated myself to teaching this beautiful instrument and as a result I have fascinated many students because its study not only allows them to function in a sensitive world that they can share with their friends, but they have also found a way to feel centered, connected to themselves. I think music does that, whether you dedicate yourself to it or not, everyone should have a moment of connection with an instrument, it seems to me to be something healthy, something that feels good. My name is Bettina and I am a clarinetist musician, I come from Argentina and I have had the pleasure of working both as a private clarinet teacher and as a teacher in a school and its children's orchestra. Currently I have finished my studies at the Conservatoire de Bordeaux and I am part of musical groups of different styles such as jazz, cumbia, Argentine folklore and Brazilian folklore. The course will be geared towards the individual student's progress and previous experience. The course will cover topics such as: body awareness (use of the body according to the instrument, embouchure, posture, etc.), music theory (harmony, melody and rhythm), good knowledge of the instrument (fingering and techniques), reading scores, improvisation and interpretation of different styles (blues, jazz, Latin, folk)

- Individualized lesson planning using a variety of techniques (individual lessons, learning to play the clarinet using selected methods, working on pieces from all eras and genres, playing with piano accompaniment or in a duo, working on chamber music pieces) - Addressing the personal needs and wishes of the students (selection of pieces from all genres of music, from classical to pop, entirely according to the student's choice and interests) - Lessons are aimed at anyone interested in playing the clarinet, regardless of age or skill level. About me: - Music student in the 2nd semester of artistic studies with a major in clarinet under Prof. Harald Harrer and a minor in piano at the Leopold Mozart College of Music of the University of Augsburg - Medical student in the 11th semester - many years of experience playing the clarinet through instrumental lessons with Berthold Reitinger and Carolin Langenwalder-Streif - Clarinetist of the Odeon Youth Symphony Orchestra Munich (patron orchestra of the Munich Philharmonic) - Competitions and achievements: Regional competition of Jugend musiziert 2020 (1st prize in piano solo); Music Additum with piano (15 points in all theoretical and practical exams); Music badges for clarinet, bronze and silver, with very high success (2020) - Repertoire: including Mozart Clarinet Concerto KV 622, Gade Fantasy Pieces op. 43, Arnold Sonatina for Clarinet and Piano, Krommer Clarinet Concerto op. 36 in E-flat major - Experience in music teaching with piano, clarinet, and accordion, as well as in teaching in general (tutoring, student teaching at university) - High school diploma in Bavaria with an average grade of 1.00 (882 out of 900 points) - Scholarship recipient of the German National Academic Foundation, the Elite Network of Bavaria, and the Max Weber Program

Whether you are picking up the clarinet for the first time, looking to improve your playing, or preparing for an audition or performance, the lessons will be tailored to your individual level and goals. We can work on sound production, breathing, embouchure, articulation, finger technique, intonation, musical phrasing, and repertoire. For more advanced students, lessons can also focus on orchestral excerpts, audition preparation, solo repertoire, and developing greater confidence and consistency in performance. I believe that good technique should help you play more naturally and expressively, rather than make playing feel complicated. I therefore pay close attention to finding efficient and comfortable solutions for each student, while encouraging them to develop their own sound and musical ideas. Students of all levels are welcome, from beginners to advanced players. Lessons are adapted to each student’s needs, pace, and musical interests.

Kind and passionate, I adapt to all student profiles so that each technical and musical aspect can progress together. Psychological and physical well-being are two very important elements that we must work on together. I can make myself available for short periods to prepare for entrance exams to higher education institutions. Beginner students are welcome! Learning a musical instrument, whether professional or amateur, should remain a pleasure, which is why building self-confidence is an integral part of my lessons. Confidence is essential for success in competitions. (Fees are adjustable depending on the student's financial situation and motivation.)
