Oboe Holiday began in 2004 to help fulfill the needs of growing oboists.\u00a0 A group of 10 students, one pianist (Lee Jordon-Anders), a repairman (Brian Seaton) and myself gathered around my piano in my living room for a week-long day camp.\u00a0 The setting was intimate where lots of learning took place at an affordable cost.\u00a0 The camp culminated in a participant recital at Lee’s beautiful house where proud parents and friends gathered to witness the growth that everyone had experienced over the week.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Oboe Holiday\u00a0is designed with growing needs of developing oboists in mind, whether they are self-taught or have had private instruction, to help them more easily achieve the joy of making music.\u00a0 Daily afternoon classes are designed for all levels to assist the musician in discovering more about themselves through the art of playing the oboe.\u00a0 Discussion classes are designed to enable the performer to be more present and in control of his or her skills through breathing, performance focus, reed making, self-evaluation,\u00a0learning good habits,\u00a0as well as general instrument care and repair.\u00a0 This year we will also discuss careers in music since there are many graduating seniors!\u00a0 The classes provide a nurturing environment with other like-minded students at all levels.\u00a0 Generally, these classes are designed to help the student find their inner guidance to better\u00a0direct their personal energies.<\/p>\n
