''Once upon a time there was a breath. Lighter than a whisper, it melted into the wind, lamenting that it was never heard...''

But before continuing this story, a little introduction is in order.
🙋🏻‍♀️ | Hi ! I'm Lisa and I study clarinet at the Lucerne University of Music.
🎶 | But beyond the pleasure of playing on stage, alone or in a group, I love to make my passion known and allow other people to become familiar with my instrument.
👩🏻‍🏫 | For a few years, I have been teaching the clarinet online and at the music school of Crans-Montana.
But back to the story.

“...One day, he heard in the distance the chords of a guitar accompanying a joyful and magical song. From that day on, the little breath decided to become music. So he let himself be carried away by the wind, which deposited him next to a clarinet. Curious, the breath slipped into the mouthpiece and slid down to the pavilion. It was fun, a bit like a slide...''

But what is a clarinet? Let's take a short break in history to clear up this point.
📖 | The clarinet is a wind instrument of the woodwind family. It is made of ebony and has 18 keys that allow the musician to play all the notes.
🎤 | It is the instrument closest to the human voice. Indeed, it can sound very loud or very soft, very high or very low and has a wide variety of sounds.
🌬 | To make a sound with his clarinet, the musician blows into the mouthpiece and vibrates the reed. A bit like when you make a blade of grass hiss by blowing on it.
Let's see how our breath is doing.

“... He then gathered all his strength and blew a big blow into the beak. Nope ! It didn't seem like the right method. He then tried to tap on the reed and slipped through the holes and the keys. Until, finally, the breath becomes a melody...''

Turn your breath into music too!
🎺 | Playing a musical instrument will allow you to express your creativity and relax while developing your brain. Plus, seeing your progress will make you proud and gain self-confidence.
💡 | The clarinet is a practical instrument. Indeed, it disassembles into 5 parts that you can store in a small box and take with you everywhere!
🇨🇭 | In Switzerland, there are many harmonies and other ensembles where the clarinet has a prominent place. You will therefore be able, as soon as you have mastered the basics, to meet lots of new people with whom to share your passion.
Let's finish the story.

“...Other breaths, strings and beats, impressed by the beauty of the melody, found himself a musical instrument too. This is how the 1st orchestra was born!

I am available on weekends (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) in Valais and during the week in Lucerne.

Extra information
2-3 words about my philosophy:

Having played in multiple ensembles (chamber music, harmony and orchestra) and having the chance to learn the basics of jazz in parallel with my classical studies, I offer the possibility to my students to try out multiple techniques. In addition to music, communication and social media are of great interest to me. Internet remains for me the biggest concert hall! I therefore offer the possibility to my students to be able to share (if and when they wish) their progress and to learn a little more about video and sound.

For me, music is sharing. Whether in a marching band, on stage, in front of family or friends or on the Internet, playing a musical instrument is sharing a moment with other people. This is why I want to give my students the opportunity to be able to show their friends or colleagues their ideas, projects or progress. Whether through social networks (videos, ...) or concerts, I want to teach my students to have self-confidence and be proud to be a musician!
