    Learn how to play the oboe and become a better musician at the same time

    Do you want to learn how to play oboe? Or maybe you want to work on skills and techniques, efficient practice sessions, the essentials of playing a wind instrument, or other music-related work. I can help you with that! My lessons are relaxed and methodical throughout to ease stress and allow you to feel comfortable during the session. I will offer encouragement and praise, and over time guide you toward correct technique and execution of the music. You don't need to get it right on the first try! We'll also get into concepts like warming up properly, active listening, breath support, phrasing and style, as well as walking through etudes and studies to improve technique. I think music should be fun and enriching, and I will offer encouragement every step of the way to help you become a better player and musician! Let's get started!

    About Andrew G.

    (1)
    Hello! My name is Andrew and I am here to introduce you to the wonderful world of music and playing the oboe! I grew up playing oboe and immediately fell in love with its sound and its expressive qualities. I had teachers that encouraged me to explore my own sound quality, listen to recordings, and master the technical aspects of playing. My teachers encouraged me to understand the inner workings of music, and taught me how to soar above the orchestra and also how to blend with other instruments. Finally, I have developed my own techniques, methods, warm-ups, and exercises to master the oboe and the art of music. My experience is my strength. I come from a long line of well-known oboists both as teachers and performers. I learned proper technique, precise tuning, efficient and productive practice, and eventually reedmaking. I can help you with all of that and more.
