Clarinet

Click here to hear the Clarinet!

The clarinet is a member of the woodwind family that uses a “single reed” and a mouthpiece to produce the sound. The Clarinet is a "Melody" instrument and frequently has the most important parts in band music. All students start on a Soprano Clarinet but a few will have the opportunity to play the Bass Clarinet in the second semester of 6th grade, seventh or eighth grade (based on their proven musical and behavioral abilities while in clarinet class). One necessity of clarinet tone production is the ability to make the chin flat to produce and develop a good sound.

 

HOW DO GET AN INSTRUMENT?

You have several options on how to get an instrument?

1. You can rent or purchase an instrument from one of our recommended and trusted music stores. You can purchase an instrument up front or you can "rent to own" an instrument. When you rent to own you will pay a month to month rental fee until the amount of the instrument is paid off. Please scroll down to view and find the links to the music stores we do business with.

2. You can choose to use a Lake Worth ISD School Owned Clarinet. The fee for using a school owned Clarinet is $40 for the school year. However the you are responsible for purchasing the instrument supplies for the Clarinet.  Please note that we only have a limited number of Clarinets. We will be assign school owned instruments to returning band students first and the remaining school owned Clarinets will be given on a first come first serve basis.
