Oboe
Students focus on developing a secure technical ability and covering a wide range of solo, orchestral and chamber repertoire. There are also opportunities to gain experience performing on doubling instrument and period instruments.
It is recommended that Oboe students spend at least two years studying Recorder as this will provide a thorough grounding in the basics of Oboe technique.
Tuition is offered on a one-to-one basis with a 30 minute lesson from grades I-V and a 60 minute lesson from grades VI-VIII.
All Oboe students have the opportunity to participate in Orchestras, Ensembles and Chamber music groups when advised by their teachers. These provide an excellent and enjoyable support to the students’ studies.
Minimum starting age: 10 years of age after at least two years of studying Recorder
