Lazarus was born in London. Raised as an orphan in the Royal Military Asylum in Chelsea, he there learned the instrument from the bandmaster John Blizzard. He later studied under Charles Godfrey, bandmaster of the Coldstream Guards. His solo debut came in 1838. Lazarus was professor of clarinet at the Royal Academy of Music from 1854 to 1895. He wrote a ''Method for the Clarinet'' based on the Boehm system, although he himself never switched. His method books still in use today, and include duets, etudes, studies, finger exercises, scales, etc. He taught at Kneller Hall from 1858. He also played the basset horn and saxophone. Lazarus died in 1895 and is buried in Brompton Cemetery, London. ==Compositions== Works include * ''Fantasia on Favorite Scotch Melodies'' * ''Fantasia on Airs from Bellini's 'I Puritani' ''〔Colin Bradbury.
