Welcome to Lisa's Clarinet Shop! 

 Hi! My name is Lisa Canning. 

I am a professional clarinetist and an arts entrepreneur. I love to help others improve their playing and SING, SING, SING on the right new instrument! Today was the first day there was a little chill in the air here in Chicago. Fall has arrived! While boating season is winding down, these last days of time on the water are really fun on all our backwater channels that are home to a host of different kinds of birds, turttles, and beavers. Our dogs can sniff the sent of a cool breeze all day long and never tire of it- they simply love it.

 EXPERIENCE THE DIFFERENCE!

I have been in the business of hand selecting Buffet Bb's, A's, Eb's, C's, D's, Alto and Bass Clarinets for over 25 years! I am glad you stopped by to visit. Stay awhile and look around.

I Support No More Starving ArtistsI promised at the end of last year to make a contribution from every order to the No More Starving Artist Scholarship Fund for The Institute for Arts Entrepreneurship. I want you to know that $50.00 from every clarinet I sell this year is going towards this fund. When you complete your purchase with me, your name, along with all the others, will be listed on the IAE website under Give. This also means that $50.00 of your purchase is tax deductible to the full extend of the law. THANK YOU for being a vital and integral part of the launch of our school. I have the clarinet to thank for my success in life and YOU to thank for your devotion to the instrument responsible for making me all that I am, and all that I will become.

Let your creativity shine. Who know's how it might surprise you in all that it can do for you.

And last but not least, I couldn't let you leave my shop and not meet my puppies Scooby on the left and (John) Lennon on the right. Right before they fell asleep they told me to tell you to check out The Entrepreneur The Arts Blog. They were up reading in the Resource Center over there where there is over 5000 articles around the arts and entrepreneurship  and got all tuckered out. (Now if you believe that my dogs can talk, then you must really be super cool.)

And did I tell you we've got this REALLY SUPER COOL Visual Arts Competition going on in to honor my mom who passed away this summer? We do. And it really is cool. She had so much creativity.

 

 

But whatever you do:

DARE TO DREAM.

Believe in YOU.

Pursue Your Passions. 

If you do the music inside of you will soar to new heights. Especially with the perfect new clarinet. One that is just perfectly right for every ounce of uniquely you.

That's what I do. I match instruments to people and career paths to artists. We all come in different shapes and sizes and our musical ideas and how we express them are all different too...I matched Lennon to Scooby. LOOK AT HOW CUTE THEY ARE. I did pretty good with them too!
