My name is Lisa Canning. Thanks so much for stopping by!
I am a firm believer that artists are here on this earth to make a difference in the lives of others. One of the ways I make a difference is by helping clarinetists find their voice on the right instrument. The most amazing thing about learning to play a wind instrument is that it teaches you how to express your emotions.
My goal is to help you express yourself and make a big difference sharing your musical gifts and your creative passions through the clarinet with others. Music Matters. There is no better way to learn how to express yourself than through a musical instrument. Especially a wind instrument.
If you are interested, I can also help you develop your career in the arts. I have built a number of different businesses that are arts related, including training programs, and have a passion for seeing creative people earn more and do more to make the world a better place.

One of the projects that is dearest to me is our Wind Repair Training Academy. It’s part of my not for profit, The Institute for Arts Entrepreneurship. If you are good at working with your hands, and are looking to earn excellent part time money, consider woodwind repair. We teach flute, clarinet and saxophone repair. You can learn more here.
Today, there are many of us who work at Lisa’s Clarinet Shop and we would like to help more of you work for yourselves and other fine retailers and repair shops in your own local communities. We are becoming a training environment to help music stores and manufacturers grow their businesses through our Ambassador Program. We offer customized sales training programs for manufacturers and retailers that are successful for everyone. When you call us you will find other professional musicians helping to support the growth of the industry because we believe in the power of music to open hearts and minds.
