Assignments
4+ hours per week. Students should be prepared to practice between lessons. I work with each student to come up with an individual practice plan for the week based on what we are working on. Generally and ideally, students at this level should be practicing 30-60 minutes a day.Assessment
includedClass Experience
Beginner - Advanced Level
The topics covered each week will be based on the needs of the individual student. Typically, at this level topics include continued discussions on lyrical expression and music theory, pieces for solo oboe, and orchestral excerpts. Depending on the student, they may also wish to complete ABRSM exams or MTAC Certificate of Merit. Most importantly, I acknowledge that each student is unique, and approach each issue in their playing differently. I strive to tailor how each issue is approached and resolved, based on individual learning style and previous experiences.
Other Details

At the Cole Conservatory I had the privilege of studying oboe and English horn with Carolyn Hove. My Bachelor's Degree, also in Oboe Performance, is from the Hartt School of Music of the University of Hartford in West Hartford, Connecticut. While there I studied with oboist Humbert Lucarelli.
I have extensive experience teaching private and group lessons, including lessons in Oboe, Piano, English Horn, Reed Making, and Music Theory. My students have gone on to win scholarships and place in honor orchestras across the country. I am also a current member of MTAC (Music Teacher's Association of California), and my students are eligible to complete their Certificate of Merit program.
Locally, I have performed with the Dana Point Symphony, Symphony Irvine, as well as other groups around Southern California. Previously, I was a long time member of the Cheshire Symphony.
