Private Teaching

I teach the oboe, English horn and reed-making lessons to children, teens and adults. I appreciate that the oboe is a difficult instrument so I try to maintain a fun and supportive environment in lessons. Requiring a great deal of air, muscle, and sensitivity to the delicate reed, I usually prefer to teach children over the age of ten.  I also enjoy working with teens and adults.  Practicing can be a daunting task to a young player and I try to work with students to develop effective and efficient practicing habits.  I also respect the styles of music that my students like to play and I try to incorporate their choice of repertoire into lessons.  I especially like working on reeds with my students.  My goal as a teacher is help my students achieve their musical ambitions and to promote a love of music so that it will always be a part of their lives in some capacity.
