Clasax Victoria

About us

The Clarinet and Saxophone Society of Victoria was formed in 1978 with the aim of promoting all aspects of single reed music, with a strong focus on participation. This covers performing, listening to and developing skills in clarinet and saxophone music at all levels – from beginners of all ages to professional players, and from students to teachers.

Who should join CLASAX?

Clarinet and saxophone players of all ages and levels of experience who want to meet with like-minded people and enjoy making music together.

Why become a CLASAX member?

CLASAX run a variety of ongoing and one-off events for clarinet and saxophone players of all levels each year. These include VCE masterclasses and repertoire days, Junior CLASAX Day, the annual Performance Competition, society concerts, Professional Development for teachers, gala clarinet and saxophone days, and a number of ensembles which rehearse monthly. CLASAX members are offered a significantly discounted rate to attend these events.

The CLASAX magazine is published to members three times yearly and includes performance reviews, reports of society events and other articles of interest to single reed players.

Members also have access to the CLASAX sheet music library, which contains a large number of ensemble pieces for clarinet and saxophone. Contact us at clasaxvictoria@gmail.com to access the library catalogue.

Members are also able to be listed in our Teachers’ Register which is published online and in the Clasax magazine. The Teachers’ Register is a great resource for students looking to source a local instrumental teacher to receive private lessons from.

How do I join?

Membership prices are $50 for adults and $25 for full-time students. Contact us at clasaxvictoria@gmail.com with any queries about membership or society events.
