Jean-David Paloyan

Jean-David begins the clarinet at the age of eight at the CRD Aix en Provence under the teaching of his father Daniel Paloyan. After finishing his studies in Aix en Provence he perfected himself at the Conservatoire de Rueil Malmaison in the Paris region under the teaching of Florent Heau. 

The teaching of his two artists made him aware of all the complexity of the clarinet. The discovery and practice of various aesthetics such as classical music, contemporary music, jazz, klezmer music pushes him to develop the sound, the choice of his instruments, the musicality, the stage and especially the self-knowledge.

Jean-david had the chance to perfect himself with great names of the clarinet like Guy Dangain, Philippe Berrod, Pascal Moragues and Nicolas Baldeyrou.

In parallel he developed his musical practice in various training like chamber music as well as in various orchestras like the orchestra of Cannes, the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra, the Avignon-Provence regional orchestra...

His taste for teaching led him to obtain his State Diploma in 2015. Since September 2018 Jean-David has been teaching clarinet at CRR of Greater Avignon and develops in parallel his musical practice in various formations.
