I like music to be fun!! I have created my own curriculum using colorful animals to learn the notes on the staffs. My students of all ages love the animals.

Mrs. Bonnie is extremely patient and kind. She gave amazing tips to our 3rd year oboe player, and we're looking forward to her next lesson!

ALWAYS so encouraging and positive!! So helpful for building confidence. I also really like the attention she pays to dynamics... teaching how to play songs correctly... not just playing the notes.

Love her teaching style with the girls! I'm amazed how quickly they are learning with Bonnie. She is wonderful with them!

My daughter loves her oboe lessons with Bonnie!  She has been incredibly supportive in teaching her the basics and it has been fun to see how much progress she has made through these lessons.  Bonnie is a great teacher and I'm so glad we found her through takelessons!

My son took his first obo lesson with Bonnie and said he's already learned some new tips and techniques to start practicing. He's looking forward to practicing, and I'm looking forward to seeing him improve on this new instrument.

Very patient and encouraging! She has a great system to teach the kids the letters of the keys and finger placement.

My daughter loved her first lesson with Bonnie.  Can’t wait to learn more.

My daughter has learned so much from Bonnie!  She went from very little experience with the oboe to now being one of the better oboists in her class.  We thought online lessons would be awkward, but it has completely exceeded our expectations.  My daughter looks forward to her weekly class with Bonnie!

My teacher was really kind and patient when I couldn’t recognize some notes. She helped me a lot today. I was kind of comfortable but was still shy. She is a great teacher.

I selected Bonnie to teach both my great granddaughters (6 & 7 yrs old) piano 8 months ago.   My granddaughters love her. She is wonderful with them. They are so excited sometimes they call me and play for me over the phone. I highly recommend Bonnie.

Bonnie has given me some of the best tips for learning to play the oboe.
