Jeff Anderle
Clarinet. Bass Clarinet.
Hi - I'm Jeff, bass clarinet soloist, pedagogue, and recording artist.
When I'm not exploding the boundaries of classical music with my groups Sqwonk, Splinter Reeds, or Nomad Session, you might find me building ultra-long bass clarinets out of PVC pipe. I unwind by reading 100 Sci-Fi/Fantasy books a year and dabbling in traditional archery.
“Anderle does a superb job of navigating the bass clarinet registers with ease, and deftly handles the challenging technical passages... [he] expertly demonstrates his prowess with keen sense of timing and virtuosic proficiency."
The Clarinet Magazine
“Certainly, nothing in the immensely demanding solo part of the Golijov daunted him. He cajoled, wept, insinuated, commanded, shrilled, prayed. An appalling spot near the end of the long first movement, when the bass clarinet shrieks at the inconceivable top of its register, found the audience almost frozen in terror.”

After 16 years of teaching at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, I joined the faculty at Arizona State University in 2024. I love guiding students and helping them find their sound, style and unique path in the field of music.
