Oboe Studio
Oboe Studio – Music Building Rm 219, Western University, London Ontario
Oboists need to be musicians, carvers and mechanics! I enjoy teaching and encouraging students to excel in all of these areas by providing a well rounded approach to achieving oboe competence. I’m dedicated to spending as much in-studio time with each student as possible.
