NUVO Clarineo 2.0, Black

Nuvo was founded in 2008 with a mission to “enable kids from all walks of life to experience the power of making music.” Nuvo creates instruments designed to minimize the hurdles that can keep students from learning when they first start an instrument. Hence, they have a positive experience and want to upgrade to a traditional band instrument when the time comes to join the band.

Nuvo instruments can be used in a variety of ways with general music students. Here are a few ideas:

• Offer a Nuvo instrument to a recorder student who needs a challenge!
• Create a Nuvo ensemble with a few students (all Nuvo instruments are in C, awesome, right?)
• Introduce Nuvo after teaching recorder to keep instrumental skills fresh before band starts
• Create a Nuvo ensemble with your faculty
• And much more! Be creative!

NOTE: These instruments are not designed to replace band instruments but bridge the gap between elementary music and band, or simply keep kids playing music after they learn recorder or other elementary instruments.

Clarinéo 2.0 Standard Kit

The Nuvo Clarinéo is a clarinet in the key of C and is ideal for young starters ages 4 to 12 years. It is much lighter and smaller than a Bb clarinet which means the finger stretches are shorter and the tone holes smaller. This takes away many of the physical challenges of the Bb clarinet while encouraging kids to practice more and develop the skills and enthusiasm they will need when they are ready to step up. It can give a child up to three years headstart on learning the clarinet.  Since the fingering is the same, the transition to Bb clarinet is quick and easy when they are ready.

The Clarinéo has a rich, mellow tone just like a traditional clarinet and can play 3½ octaves fully chromatic. That’s enough for Mozarts’ Clarinet Concerto!

There are many music and learning materials on WindStars, and the Clarinéo is particularly suitable for classroom ensembles playing alongside the jFlute and jSAX.

The instrument is easy and inexpensive to maintain and is 100% washable in warm soapy water. This makes them ideal in school programs where children might be sharing instruments.
