My Testimonials
"While having lessons with Stella, we concentrated on all aspects of oboe technique to build a strong foundation to my playing. Often teaching by example, Stella taught me to play musically and, most importantly, to develop my own style of playing. Always giving her dedication and support, Stella has been a fantastic teacher!"

"I have known Stella Dickinson both professionally and personally for many years. she is a highly accomplished musician with a particular talent for teaching. By maintaining a good balance of criticism and encouragement with her students, Stella has enabled many of them to achieve significant success. This, combined with her clear understanding of reed making and all technical aspects of playing the oboe, make her an ideal teacher for players of all standards and ages."

"Stella has an impressive teaching portfolio, and I have no hesitation in employing her as a teacher in both workshops and one to one formula. For many years she taught Oboe in the centre of Music and Performing Arts at the Colchester Institute, where her committed and conscientious approach was a boon to our department and students."
