    About Nikolaus F.

    4.8
    (16)
    I am a professional free lance musician in the Metro Phoenix area. I play regularly with the Phoenix Symphony and Opera. I play in several orchestras around town and play in two chamber ensembles, Mill Ave Chamber Players and Paradise winds. I teach at two of the Maricopa Community College campuses and have a private studio of students. I also own my own online reed making business where people can purchase hand made oboe and English Horn reeds. I love what I do, and am excited to help other out as well!

    Nik is an amazing teacher! He has an amazing ability to build a comfortable rappor with his students. He is patient, kind and able to inspire his students in their musical journey. I would recommend Nik highly for anyone looking to take oboe lessons.

    Nik is an excellent oboe instructor as he always pushes his students to do better. It was a pleasure having Nik come into our home & give our son oboe lessons.
