Isabelle G. — Clarinet Teacher — Rosemont, Montreal

Hello everyone! I am a clarinetist and bass clarinetist based in Montreal. I have been teaching classical and jazz clarinet to students of all ages and levels for over 9 years. I recently completed a Master’s degree in Classical Clarinet Performance at McGill University, where I also earned my Bachelor’s degree. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work in a wide variety of musical contexts—ranging from classical music in orchestral and chamber settings to contemporary projects, popular music, jazz, and global music. I have been performing on both B-flat clarinet and bass clarinet across Quebec and internationally for 10 years now, on stage and as a studio musician, both within various ensembles and as a freelancer. I am available to teach lessons at my home studio!
