Modern Orchestration Masterclass - The Clarinet

On-demand workshop

Taught by: Helen Noir

• Understand the range and standard articulations for the clarinet
• Begin to write playable and idiomatic music for the clarinet, whether for an IRL musician or a VST
• Create realistic clarinet lines using VSTS, with understanding of range, articulations, dynamics, expression and modulation
• Communicate as a composer with a clarinet player (by understanding what can reasonably be asked of the instrument and what experimental techniques might be possible)
• Know a little about clarinet auxiliary instruments (we will demonstrate some bass clarinet also)
