    About Clare M.

    5.0
    (10)
    (pronouns: she/her) I am a professional oboist and reed maker. I graduated from Furman University with a Bachelor of Music in Oboe and received a Master of Music in Oboe at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. I have been teaching private lessons for 5 years and I currently sell 30-40 oboe reeds a month. I am happy to sell reeds to my students and help them learn to make their own. I teach oboe students of all ages and proficiencies. I believe music should be fun, whether pursued as a career or a hobby. I help students release tension and facilitate ease in playing in order to find that fun. In addition to oboe, I am studying yoga and the Alexander Technique. I plan to become certified in both in the coming years. Regardless of your goals with the oboe, I will help you develop a solid foundation to become a versatile player. I believe that musicality can be taught as well as technique and will work with you to create a routine that best fits your aspirations as an oboist. I look forward to meeting you!

    Clare helped my 7th grade daughter practice oboe during summer break. My daughter liked her from day one and told me she learned something new. We'll be back to Clare for sure if we need online lesson again in the future.
