Lessons can be Informative, Inspiring and Fun!
Your oboe playing can be enjoyable and rewarding for you and for those who listen to you. I provide top quality lessons, no matter what lessons you choose from consultations, to beginner and professional oboe lessons in Lancashire and North Lancashire.
I have taught pupils as young as eight years old; music scholars; extra tuition for those preparing for music college; under-graduate and post-graduate students; and mature students who want to refresh their playing techniques.
- I can provide you with top quality advice to prepare for performances, auditions, examinations and competitions;
- During my oboe lessons in Lancashire you will learn effective practice techniques to get quicker results and make an impact.
- Your lessons will be tailored to your needs so that it is a rich and inspiring experience. Whether you are looking for professional or beginner oboe lessons for children, students or adults in Lancashire and Lancashire, I can help.
- I guide my pupils to gradually learn how to become independent reed makers and well rounded musicians.
From absolute beginners to advanced students, as well as for top music professionals, whatever the issue, I can provide counselling advice about your career, so that together we consider, analyse and then make lesson plans which will help you to develop from strong and solid foundations towards virtuoso skills.
I welcome parents of young children to their child's lesson, in this way to understand more about the process and advantages of learning the Oboe.
With prior notice, I can provide customised, hand made reeds exclusively for my pupils, using vintage Alliaud cane. These are not retailed through music shops. I provide small amounts of tube cane to professionals.
