About Cory B.
Close
One of my favorite instruments to teach-- I often say that my specialty is convincing people that they should play double reed instruments! Generally seen as more of a challenge, double reeds like the oboe can be frustrating for beginners, but don't worry-- I can guide you through any troubles and help you learn this beautiful instrument.
About Cory
I am a classically trained bassoonist with a Master's degree from London's Royal College of Music. I love finding each student's own learning style to tailor the experience, and I encourage my students to make their own decisions about musical expression (with plenty of guidance, of course!).
In my work as a performer I have played with orchestras all over the world, from the South London Sinfonia to the Bombay Chamber Orchestra. My musical life is full of variety, and I think that the experiences I've had as a musician make me a creative and thoughtful teacher.
*** Lesson Details ***
I wouldn't call myself strict, but I do have high standards. I expect my students to put in the work at home, so that we can get the most out of lesson time, but I think that my expectations are realistic. After all, we all have busy lives, and even

I wouldn't call myself strict, but I do have high standards. I expect my students to put in the work at home, so that we can get the most out of lesson time, but I think that my expectations are realistic. After all, we all have busy lives, and even
if you haven't had time to prepare we can always have a productive lesson.
We will learn simple tunes in the very first lesson, and I will always balance technical exercises with fun. (Though I do think a lot of exercises are fun too!) After a few months we will have a solid foundation of music theory and will have developed your music reading abilities considerably. We will have worked on a great technical foundation of scales and exercises, so that your fingers won't fail you. We will also be delving in to longer and more complex tunes, and considering the possibility of some form of casual public or in-home performance, for you to show your family and friends what you've learned!

About Justin S.
Close
For first-time students, I prefer to start out discussing the fundamentals of melody and rhythm within the context of the human voice. I will guide students at the beginner level through tone production, sight reading, and instrument basics. For intermediate students, I will focus on perfecting technique, developing repertoire, and preparing for auditions. For advanced students, I will focus on developing virtues specific to individual long-term goals.
About Justin
My approach to music education is one that puts musical expression first and then applies technique as appropriate to an individual's virtues. Oboe in particular is an instrument whose complexity lends itself to dogmatic approaches that can stifle individual growth. This is because the oboe is an instrument that requires constant fine tuning and adjustment, both of the instrument itself and the reeds that one plays. In this way, oboe is very much a craft, more than just a consumable product. As an expert in instrument adjustment and reed making, I can help students overcome the fundamental difficulties of playing oboe and focus on the most important aspect, which is making music.
I have a bachelor of music, master of music, and specialist degree in music education. I really enjoy teaching part time because music turned my life aro

Oboe teacher of four years, specializing in the beginner and intermediate levels. All ages are welcome. Whether you want to pick up oboe as a hobby or you'd like to be a professional oboist, I'll help you get on your way. Message me if you'd like to get started!
About Zachary
I am an instrumental performance student at New York University, specializing in oboe. I am also a woodwind doubler who freelances with orchestras, opera companies, and musical theatre troupes throughout New York.
Oboe is a demanding and difficult instrument, but I am confident I can make it enjoyable and rewarding. The oboe is a beautiful instrument and students will see improvement each week. Before long, they will be playing standard repertoire and will be capable of performing with other musicians.
In addition to being a performance student, I am training for my masters in music education. I have been teaching woodwinds for seven years, oboe for four. I have played oboe for six years and have been playing music for fourteen. I can work with students of all ages and can teach students to read music and play their chosen instrumen
