Woodwind Lessons @ WollCon
Saxophone
Lessons
Lessons are available for the four most common saxophone types: soprano, alto, tenor and baritone.
Depending on the student age, level of expertise and preferred style of music, we aim to match the student with the right teacher.
Flute
Lessons
Children from as young as 4 years old can start learning to play on a Shining Piper flute, while 6-10 year olds can learn on a curved head joint flute. More advanced students can learn the piccolo.
Oboe
Lessons
For oboe (and cor anglais) lessons, it is recommended that students be at least 10 years old (depending on their physical development).
Clarinet
Lessons
Lessons are offered on all clarinets ranging from E flat to bass clarinets (small to large).
For students under the age of 10 years we recommend a WollCon assessment to see which clarinet would best suit.
In general, it is recommended younger students begin lessons on the E flat clarinet and progress to B flat as they grow.
Bassoon
Lessons
Lessons are offered on the bassoon, the tenor basoon (or tenoroon) and contrabasoon (the largest instrument in the woodwind family).
It is generally recommended that students be at least 12 years old, however this may vary according to the student’s physical development .
Times
Lessons are available in blocks of 30, 45 and 60 minutes over a 9-week term, and weekly scheduling is subject to availability.
