Experience Summary
I have been playing and studying oboe for 13 years. I held the position of principal of the USF Symphony Orchestra oboe section from Fall 2006 through Spring of 2010. Oboe is such a unique instrument and requires certain specialized skills. I currently make my own reeds for my use and for my students' use. I have taught many masterclasses at local high schools and tutored many students.
Teaching Style
I try to make my students feel as comfortable as possible and use positive constructive criticism in order to build the student's confidence as a mucisian. I do expect my students to work hard and practice as much as they can in order to improve their skills.
