My lessons are designed to provide the student with latest historical performance trends, discussion of the historical treatises that inform our practice as musicians and of course, the oboes themselves. I teach baroque oboes, which includes treble oboe, oboe d'amore and oboe da caccia, which would be able to teach to beginners all the way up to advanced players. I can also give lessons to beginner modern oboe players. Additionally, my classes can also be about music theory, which can provide you with a better understanding of the context of the music you like. I also make my own reeds and can make reeds for you, or even better, teach you how to make them! It is a beautiful thing to do once you get the hang of it. I obtained my bachelors and masters degrees from the Royal College of Music with honours, where I studied with Gail Hennessy. My aim in my life is to share the passion for early music with my students. There is an special joy I have experienced when I perform with early music ensembles; I would be delighted to be able to inspire people so they can also feel how happy we can be from performing music. Please get in touch if you would like more information about me, my training, etc., and I will send my bio and CV your way.
