B.A. Music - Oboe Performance

    Learn oboe from a friendly expert!

    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!

    Madalyn liked the instructor, she was friendly and She worked well with her and she is traditionally shy, Her feedback was instructional but fairly given which I like especially for an 11 year old .

    I'm impressed with how well Brianna does instructing online. My daughter is learning and Brianna is catching her "bad habits" before they become ingrained. She does all of this in a very positive way. She's a great instructor!

    Experience

    Oboe teacher

    Jan, 2015 - Present

    Self-employed

    I have been teaching for several years through TakeLessons and have loved every second of it! I work with my students to make learning oboe fun by not just focusing on standard repertoire, but also any other songs from pop culture/movies/etc. that the student might be interested in. I also try to make my lessons very well-rounded by including music theory, singing, and ear training.

    UCLA Ensembles

    During my 4 years at UCLA, I played different oboe parts in numerous ensembles, such as Philharmonia, Wind Ensemble, Opera, Chamber Orchestra, Hooligan Theater, and more.

    3rd oboe/English horn

    Sep, 2013 - Jan, 2014

    San Diego City Ballet Orchestra

    During my senior year in high school, I had the opportunity to perform The Nutcracker with the San Diego City Ballet orchestra 11 times. The Nutcracker had many English horn solos which allowed me to broaden my playing skills, as well as giving me to chance to perform with a great orchestra.
