Clarinet Saxophone Flute Oboe

year after year this is where the top students study.

Correct bad habits that are holding you back or learn your instrument correctly from the beginning
Students make phenomenal progress and learn music not just their instrument.

Hand position, posture, embouchure, breathing ,how to tongue, how to play short notes, how to phrase, how to tune, how to play in time,how to adjust your reed and match it to your mouthpiece and much more.
Learn ways that you can teach yourself how to fix these problems: Does your jaw move when you tongue? is your tone harsh or airy? Is it hard to play? Do you blow one puff of air for each note? Is your throat tight? See a dramatic improvement in these areas and more even after just the first lesson

Simon Cole principal clarinet Prince George Symphony plays Yamaha CSG clarinets

A refined and ringing tone, superb intonation and response. I have played most of the major brands. Buffet R13, Festival (which I like a lot) Prestige, Greenlines, Selmer Recitals, Leblanc Opus and tried most others (Tosca etc.), they are all fine clarinets. Is the CSG the best? No, the best is situational but it is one hell of a fine clarinet and what I choose to play on.

We have done background music for most of the big companies and associations. eg. Canfor, Northwood, Northern Health, City of Prince George, UNBC, Chamber of Commerce, CNC, Canadian Rural Health Society, Art Gallery, UNBC Child Care Gala, Coast Inn of the North, Power House Realty We are very easy to deal with and our product is very high quality.

Nobel Clarinet

14041 Bb CLARINET, brushed hard rubber body for a wood-like sound and finish, wear resistant nickel plated keys, waterproof Valentino pads, French blue steel needle springs, genuine cork bumpers and tenons, bell ring, 65mm Moenig bore barrel, light case with back pack straps. The quasi-indestructible nature of Valentino pads render the Nobel completely airtight and fully resonant. A best choice for a sound investment. $495

Every clarinet is set up and play tested before sale, most stores do not do this. This clarinet has had some undercutting of higher tone holes and resetting of pad heights done for better pitch and tone.

The material, reverse taper barrel and design give this clarinet a more mature rich sound when compared to standard student clarinets costing hundreds more. I have played one in the orchestra for outdoor concerts.
