Foundations for Successful Oboe Students

Clinic Synopsis:

Oboe is one of the most difficult instruments to begin. Many students quit in frustration within the first few years. "Foundations for Successful Oboe Students" will assist in getting oboe students off to the right start and continuing their growth. Ms. French has taught many oboists of all levels for over 20 years. Besides being award winners in state, her students have gone on to study music at schools such as Interlochen, IU, Eastman, Oberlin, Yale, and many others.
