My primary objective is to make learning music an enjoyable and productive experience to all ages & levels.

Are you self taught and want to take the next step into a more structured study approach? TAB/Chord readers making the leap to learn notation and theory? Maybe you would like to take a more formal route through a music board syllabus? Or a complete beginner who just wants to have fun playing some of your favourite songs?

Whichever path you're on, I can introduce the correct methods and techniques to apply to your learning. After an introductory meeting, I will work up a personal lesson plan based on what you want to achieve and learn.

Individual lessons based on the needs of each student, using a mix of classic and innovative teaching methods.
Lessons are one hour, 45 minutes or 30 minutes each, but can be adapted as required.

I have always adapted my academic and teaching skills to the needs and ambitions of each individual student, structuring the most suitable teaching methodology for each individual.

My courses include:
- individual lessons and targeted programmes for all levels and ages;
- preparation for certification and admission examinations at conservatories, using specific methodologies and texts;
- lessons with a playful-recreational background aimed at introducing the youngest children to the knowledge and use of the instrument, through the use of games and colours!

Hello there! I'm Lilian, and I'm here to share my love for the oboe with learners of all ages. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your skills, I've got your back.

I believe a good technique is fundamental and can make you enjoy playing music more, and together with that comes development of a person's musicality, I can help you develop both a good technique and a your musicality so that you can achieve a nice musical expression.

To stay organized and cover all the essentials, I like to split the lesson in parts, depending on your skill level of course. In a lesson of one hour we can cover theoretical music skills, breath work, reed exercises, etudes and technical exercises and pieces. We can also play duos together!
Because I have a lot of experience making reeds, I can make and adjust your reeds to your maximal comfort.

Life can get hectic, so I'm all about flexibility. We can find a time during the week that works for both of us, and we'll make sure our lessons fit seamlessly into your schedule. Reach out to me, and we can chat about how long you'd like our sessions to be and tailor a plan that suits you.
