SELMER Summer Clarinet Academy 2026

Organized every year, the SELMER Summer Clarinet Academy offers a friendly space for exchange and sharing, giving the participants a real motivation. On the program: master classes, private lessons, rehearsals with piano, recital evenings, instrument testing...

This year again, the teachers have been selected for their artistic skills, of course, but also and most importantly for their human qualities, their sense of listening and pedagogy. We thus guarantee students a wealth of exchanges and advice that allows them to progress in a friendly and stimulating atmosphere.

 The 2026 faculty includes Guy Yehuda (Michigan State University, Lansing Symphony Orchestra),  Marie-B Barrière-Bilote (Orchestre philharmonique de Monte-Carlo, Professeure à l'Académie Rainier III), James Campbell (université de l'Indiana), Aileen Razey (St. Olaf College, Winner of the 1st Henri SELMER Paris International Clarinet Academy and Competition), Robert Spring (Arizona State University) and Tasha Warren (Michigan State University, American Modern Ensemble).

And, of course, they will have the opportunity to take part in the Academy's competition, with three awards at the end:

•     1^st prize: Henri SELMER Paris B♭ professional clarinet (to choose from Présence, Recital, Signature, Privilège and Muse)
•     2^nd prize: $1,000
•     3^rd prize: A Henri SELMER Paris Concept Bb clarinet mouthpiece
