National Serbian Clarinet Association facts for kids
The National Serbian Clarinet Association (NSCA) is a group for clarinet players in Serbia. It was started in 2015 by Serbian musicians who play the clarinet. Many of the people who founded the NSCA were already part of bigger international clarinet groups, like the International Clarinet Association (ICA) and the European Clarinet Association (ECA). These founders are professional musicians who play classical music. The NSCA also includes students and clarinet players who enjoy other types of music.
