Oihan Espina Errasti

Have you always wanted to learn the clarinet or the bass clarinet, or are you looking to pick it up again and improve your playing?

My name is Oihan Espina Errasti, and I’m passionate about the clarinet and music in general. I started playing the clarinet when I was 6 years old, and ever since then I've always tried to find different ways to enjoy making music with my instrument. I aim to help people find their unique voice through the clarinet and bass clarinet. I have experience teaching students from absolute beginners who have never held an instrument to advanced students aiming for peak performance, my lessons are fully customized to fit your pace, lifestyle, and musical tastes.

Music shouldn't feel like a chore. That is why my teaching combines a solid foundation in technique and music theory with a creative, hands-on approach. All within a supportive and engaging environment.

Feel free to contact me and ask any questions you may have.

I would love to help you on your musical journey. Let’s make some great music together!

I was born in Lezo (2001), and I completed my master’s degree in clarinet at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam in 2025 under the tutelage of professors Arno Piters, Olivier Patey, and Davide Lattuada (bass clarinet). Prior to this, I completed his bachelor’s degree at the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Navarra with professor Mikel Donazar, graduating with honorable mentions and receiving the Extraordinary Graduation Prize. Additionally, I have participated in masterclasses with renowned clarinetists such as Yehuda Gilad, Calogero Palermo, Eric Hoeprich, Bruno Bonansea, Luis Cámara, and Jose Franch Ballester, among others.

I have been a member of youth orchestras and academies, including the Lucerne Festival Academy, the Nationaal Jeugdorkest (NJO), the EGO (Basque Youth Orchestra), and the JOP. Furthermore, I have performed with professional ensembles such as the Euskadiko Orkestra (Basque National Orchestra), "La Pamplonesa" wind band, "Sinfonietta de Pamplona," and Errenteria's Wind Band. Also, I am an active chamber musician, playing the bass clarinet with the "Horizon Quartet" and prize winner in both solo and ensemble competitions.

People of all ages, with different goals and aspirations, but all sharing one common bond: enjoy making music with the clarinet. This diversity is what I love most about my profession. No two days are ever the same, and I always strive to find the right pace for each lesson and the musical style that best suits you. We work entirely based on your tastes and goals.

Ik ben nog steeds bezig met het leren van Nederlands. Op dit moment denk ik niet dat ik er al klaar voor ben om de lessen in deze taal te geven, maar over een paar maanden zal dat wel een optie zijn.
