Jenny Clarinet Academy

The Jenny Clarinet Academy is a comprehensive online clarinet curriculum created to help improve your knowledge of the clarinet and its performance fundamentals, history, pedagogy, repertoire, and a variety of other subjects.

The Jenny Clarinet Academy will offer a rotating selection of courses each semester, and I will be adding to the online curriculum throughout the year.

All courses will take place on Zoom and will be recorded for anyone who cannot attend the live lectures.

Seats are limited in each course, so be sure to sign up today to enroll!

Let me know if you have any questions, and I look forward to welcoming you in the Jenny Clarinet Academy!
