I specialize in the all levels of oboe students! Lessons are customized and catered to the needs/goals of each student. Not only will you be performing in no time, but you will be building a strong foundation of reed making, note reading, sight reading, technique, and more. Let's get started!

I am a double reed (oboe and bassoon) specialist and have played both for over 16 years. I tutor the double reed students at Hughson High School and Ross Middle School during the school year. Proper oboe embouchure, technique and selection and adjustment of reeds is something most public school teachers overlook. Trust a specialist!

I teach oboe primarily through the tried and true Rubank method and the Ferling studies. Students will learn how to properly care for the instrument, how to read music, music theory, instrument technique, practice techniques, ear training (how to play by ear), reed adjustment, and repertoire. I also employ custom exercises specifically for oboe to help my students progress the fastest.

*Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, please note I am only accepting students for online lessons until further notice*

I have over 10 years of experience teaching oboe and customize lesson plans for my students. I focus on listening, musicality, and technique. My lessons include a warm up geared to establish a solid daily routine, technical studies, a piece from oboe literature, and sight reading. I also teach reed making and recommend students learn to make their own reeds if they intend to play oboe beyond high school. I believe that good, new reeds are critical to a student’s success-both for tone and embouchure development.

Experienced Music teacher of 8 years available for eager students of all experience levels and ages! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of their instrument and theory skills. I specialize in all styles. Typically, I use a variety of method books to pick from to meet the needs of the students. I also have many tools available to use during lessons.
My students have gone on to NYSSMA and on to college auditions successfully!
