I am accepting a few students of all levels for coaching! With years of experience as a professional oboist, reedmaker and teacher, I help oboists identify root causes of their playing and reedmaking problems — and recommend solutions. Often the difference between success and failure is a fine point.
Q. Isn't there enough information available about reeds on the internet?
The internet is filled with information on reedmaking, photos and discussion on reeds. However, high-quality, accurate information may be indistinguishable from other points of view. Perusing the internet, I frequently see reeds and instruction with many of the problems and errors my book addresses. Some of the advice is simply wrong and will not lead to professional-level improvement!
Performing major works with major collaborators was a great way to begin my career. At a very early age I was forced to explore and analyze playing and reedmaking techniques to develop a reliable reedmaking system.
