A performance level clarinet will help your student sound better and enjoy playing more.
A quality step-up clarinet should feel and sound smoother across all registers. This means there should be less of a “bump” when crossing the break or playing certain notes. The lower register should sound warm and resonant, while the upper registers should sound less shrill, be easier to play, and have better intonation throughout.
My Go-To Clarinet for
Advancing Students.
I've taught clarinet students for more than 20 years, and I've played many step-up instruments. The Jupiter 1100SQ is one I confidently recommend for students who have outgrown their beginner clarinet and are ready for an instrument that will support them through high school and beyond.
