My primary goal at the beginning of the first lesson is to work with the student to figure out their interests and goals, whether they be short or long-term. After this, we will set goals that we can work towards and reach over time. Every student comes from a different background and has a different life outside of music, therefore I will work to set goals that will allow the student to gain as much as possible while studying the oboe with me.
Overall, the most important things I strive to help my students achieve are: 1. fostering a better appreciation and a love for playing the oboe, 2. gaining a better understanding of how to practice efficiently and effectively, and 3. becoming a more well-rounded musician and oboist. These three things, among many others, can be worked on with students of any age or ability level and will allow the student to become more self-aware, self-motivated, and self-assured as they continue on their journey as oboists.
