Yamaha Artist
Hello, I’m Emilio, Spanish clarinet player, currently living in France, working as an orchestra musician as well as a teacher, chamber music and solo player.
I have been teaching for about a decade now, and I think it is the best way not only to just explain things to others, but to become a better musician yourself.
I love to work with any kind of students, from begginers to advanced performers that want to improve any of their skills.

Emilio is a very friendly teacher. My son watched the video of his performance. Then study with him. He was very patient and detailed in his explanations and demonstrations. His lessons are great for playing skills, musicality, and so on. I recommend you take a class with him.
