Hire Me as Your Coach for Your Most Important Project.
For 30 days.
You already know how to do the work. You're determined to do it well. You put in the hours. You're ambitious.
What you don't need is another month of practice that feels busy but goes nowhere.
You need someone that sees through the messy part, organizes it for you, so you can focus 100% on execution. For 30 days.
You bring the project. I bring the structure. We build the rest together.
What We Do in Your Coaching
Eight lessons, a setup call, a check-in, and a plan built around your specific project. This is not me doing the work for you. I just make sure the work you do actually counts.
Your 30 Days Coaching
What We Can Work On in Your Coaching
You choose one project.
- The audition is getting closer and you feel overwhelmed. We work on the excerpts, mental prep and pacing of the work so you're able to peak at the right time.
- You've entered a competition but aren't sure how to structure the preparation beyond just practicing all the program every day. We identify a few key areas that need work and make a structured plan that helps you focus on what matters for the performance.
- A solo recital with repertoire you've been learning but haven't been able to bring to performance level on your own.
- A concerto with a recording session as the deadline. Studio preparation is its own discipline.
- An aspect of your playing that's not working under pressure, and you want to actually take the time to fix it rather than keep pushing through.
- A big piece of orchestral repertoire you need properly under your fingers for an upcoming project.
From past students
Beyond his unquestionable knowledge and competence on the clarinet and its repertoire, the way he structures his method, if applied consistently, leads to inevitable and tangible progress.
I really loved this course. I found the content clear, practical, and immediately applicable. It helped me make my daily practice far more effective and organized, but above all it made me take a big step forward in the search for my own sound.
I got to expand and improve my practice method, above all in the search for greater technical precision and higher quality of sound (quality, dynamic range, colour, intonation). I feel more secure in performance and I handle moments of stress much better. I feel I've improved thanks to this course, and I've been able to confirm it through outside feedback and recordings of exams and performances. In every lesson I learned something useful and/or gained solid foundations to work from, all while enjoying it and without any kind of negative pressure.
Who Is This For?
- You're a professional musician or a serious student aiming to go professional, with a concrete project that has a deadline attached to it.
- You're tired of putting in the work but your practice doesn't turn into the preparation you actually need.
- You're willing to follow a structured plan, even when that means changing how you've always practiced.
- You want someone who has been in the arena themselves and will be honest about what the work requires.
- You're looking for someone to hand you all the answers. This works because you do the work, not because I do it for you.
- You need a therapist or a life coach. I'm a musician. We work on your playing and the systems around it.
- You want short-cut hacks instead of doing the work to build something that lasts over time.
- You're not planning to take action. If you know you won't implement, do not join.

Questions you might have
Hi, I'm Andrea Scaffardi
I help clarinetists turn their preparation into a system so they can perform with confidence.
I'm the principal clarinetist of the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra. Before Bergen I held the same position at the Malmö Symphony. I've performed as a soloist with repertoire ranging from Mozart and Debussy to Stravinsky and Nielsen, several of these performances have been broadcast live on Swedish Radio. I've also appeared as guest principal with the Tonhalle Zurich, the Gothenburg Symphony, and La Scala, and I run regular masterclasses in Italy, Sweden, and Norway.
My approach is systemization. I see where practice lacks structure and help convert it into documented, repeatable, and scalable workflows.
