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)

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.)

Tailored clarinet or music theory tutoring? Personal guidance, adapted to your level, pace, and goals. Various musical styles possible. For beginners or intermediate level. Antwerp region. Making music together! Learning together with pleasure.

As a clarinetist, teacher, and motivator, I offer lessons to adult students who have played the clarinet in the past, then neglected it, and now wish to pick it up again. I've prepared a refresher course, focusing on clarinet playing, rhythm, and ear training. Everything you need to get back into the swing of things! My classes are held online :). It was a pleasure, Sophie
