“As a teacher, I strive to give my students the tools to express themselves and their unique voices on the oboe. With confidence in our abilities on the instrument, we can create deep and meaningful connections to others through music-making. To me, it is a great privilege to be able to share the power and beauty of music with new generations of musicians.”
