Oboe Lessons in Lindenhurst. Amazing Teachers.

35 + yrs playing/teaching experience
Classical
Fun mixed with work

Although the oboe can be a difficult instrument at times, I always found joy each and every time I picked up my instrument to play and I hope to pass along this enthusiasm to my students. I believe in building a solid foundation through long tones, scales and etudes to build endurance and train the ears to recognize intonation and intervals. At the same time, lyrical solo works helps support the students musicality and phrasing. I believe a healthy balance of both will put any student on the right path toward progress, while also building confidence and enthusiasm.

I have been playing oboe for 15+ years both as a soloist and in ensembles (community orchestras and theatre pit groups). As an elementary music teacher, I have experience with a variety of methods with which we can get you started and keep you going on this challenging and rewarding double reed.

I like music to be fun! I have played in major symphony orchestras, classical and jazz groups, in costume at Universal Studios and surrounding Orlando area and created my own pop oboe CDs. I like to explore all styles of music including pop, rock, jazz and classical.

I believe that anyone can play the oboe well with the right teacher helping them. I customize each student's course of study to help them achieve their goals as a musician. Students studying with me will learn determination, self-discipline, patience, the courage to learn new skills and experience the joy of oboe playing and performance.

Learning music is a wonderful and rewarding experience. It will help to channel your own or your child’s creative energy and develop a feeling of confidence. It is an investment in their future as well as yours. I look forward to watching you grow through music.

I will help you learn to play any style you want, but I also provide my students with a comprehensive education in all aspects and styles of music, including theory.

I have 15 years of experience teaching piano and oboe in New York City and internationally. I hold a Masters Degree from Moscow State Conservatory and also multiple awards from International music competitions.

Well look no further, I will help you build a solid foundation of music theory, sight-reading, ear training, and technique while tailoring to your personal needs and goals. All ages and genres are welcome, my only rule is to have fun, so lets get started.
