Lessons
❝ I am thankful that I have found an oboe instructor as knowledgeable, patient, and friendly as Sarah. I love her style of teaching as it reflects her tremendous talent, dedication, and expertise as an oboist and teacher. In addition, she understands my capabilities and encourages me to improve on my abilities by fully explaining and demonstrating the concepts and techniques she incorporates into her lessons. Further, Sarah is timely and flexible in scheduling our lessons via the Zoom platform, which is nice as it works well and suits me being able to do them from home. I am very grateful to have found Sarah and look forward to our lesson time each week!❞

MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
As musicians, perhaps the most impactful part of our journey is the time we spend with our teachers. With this in mind, I tailor each lesson to the needs of the student, meeting them at their necessary pace while continuing to build confidence and ask for more. I believe that musicality should be at the forefront of every goal and therefore should be involved in every part of our practice, no matter how technical or routine. This will be the focus of most lessons, with the understanding that musicality can always be used as a means to an end in our playing.
Teaching is the most rewarding part of my life as a musician, and I look forward to every lesson. I can’t wait to work together and help each other grow.
