Rock Tavern, NY Oboe Lessons

I teach how to play with appropriate technique, fingers, breath support and control.

Oboe is my main area of study. Students will begin with the Breeze-Easy oboe method, eventually graduating to Pares Scales and various etude books along with other exercises to help strengthen musicality, tone, intonation and technique. High school students can begin taking reed making lessons as well.

All aspects of oboe playing including reed tying, scraping and adjustment.

Whether you are starting out on oboe, switching from another instrument, preparing for an audition, or simply looking to brush up on your skills, I can help you reach your oboe goals!

All lessons are customized to your interests and needs. My teaching experience ranges from complete beginners to advanced students. We can work on everything from the fundamentals and etudes to advanced recital and audition repertoire! For those looking to branch out, we can also cover English horn playing in the lessons.

Reeds are always a concern for oboists and I can help with buying advice or learning to make your own reeds! I can also work on or sell personalized reeds in person or via mail.

For students wishing to broaden their musical insights, I also can incorporate music theory and history into the lessons. I teach college music theory students of all levels so I am very comfortable in this area as well.

Typically, I use a variety of method books to pick from to meet the needs of the students. I also have many tools available to use during lessons.
My students have gone on to NYSSMA and on to college auditions successfully!

I began taking oboe lessons at the age of 8 and have continued with the instrument through a Music Performance degree at Chapman University and am currently completing my Masters degree in Oboe Performance and the University of Southern California. As an oboe teacher, I find it equally important for my students to strengthen their technique and their musicality. To become a strong oboist, it is important to not only play the music properly, but to put a little bit of yourself into every piece you play. I also specialize in reed-making, and love helping students with their reeds, as well as sell reeds to young oboists.

I am very passionate about music and oboe, so I can provide lots of important info about college auditions and prepping for an upcoming concert! I have played many pieces from the standard oboe repertoire and have learned many of the prominent orchestral excerpts for oboe! I can also help with any reed making questions!

I am a performer, teacher, and woodwind specialist based in New York City. As a woodwind doubler I have been studying woodwind instruments for over 10 years and currently play flutes, oboes, clarinets, saxophones, and world flutes professionally. When I'm not performing in orchestras for musical theatre or giving solo recitals I love teaching.

I've taught students from all different backgrounds and skill levels and my students all show significant growth because I cater my lesson plans to fit the goals and needs of each student.

Students will learn the proper way to play the oboe, including instruction in technique, producing a good sound, and music literacy.
