Oboe Lessons with Steven
I enjoy teaching lessons to students of all ages and ability levels. I believe that a strong basis in fundamentals and technique supports each student's ability to express themself on the instrument. Lessons are customized to meet the needs of the student – whether a beginner looking to have fun and be inspired, a high schooler preparing for All-State or college auditions, or an adult musician balancing full-time work with a love for the oboe, I will work with you to identify and acheive your goals!
High quality, handmade reeds are a prerequisite to study of the oboe. Without a regular supply of professionally made reeds, a student cannot achieve their best (and it sure is a lot more fun to play on a good reed). Included in my lesson pricing is a set number of handmade reeds each month. I will work with you to determine what kind of reed will best support your performance and will customize reeds especially for your needs.
Pricing, studio policies, and contact information can be found below.
