30-Minute, 45-Minute or 60-Minute Music Lessons
All oboe lessons are taught as private, one-on-one music instruction and are available in lengths of 30, 45, and 60 minutes. We suggest kids and teenagers begin with 30-minute lessons and progress to longer lengths as your teacher recommends. For adults who have some previous experience, we recommend starting with 45- or 60-minute lessons.
Oboe Lessons for Kids & Teenagers
Due to the demands of playing the oboe, we recommend that students be at least 8 years old before starting lessons. Beginning students are first taught how to make a good sound on a double reed since it is different from other reed instruments. After obtaining a good sound and embouchure, students will move forward learning proper instrument assembly, hand placement, fingerings, music reading, posture, breath control, and more.
Oboe Lessons for Adults
Don’t feel intimidated if you’ve never played an oboe – we love new students! Beginning adult students will learn the basics of playing the oboe, while intermediate and advanced lessons will focus on breath control and support, posture, tonal quality, finger dexterity, articulation, hand position, sound production, and music theory.
