Nearly every oboist learns and performs this piece at one point. I found my first student performance to share with my students and others who may be learning this piece for the first time.

Discovering this recording brings back fond memories of Larry Thorstenberg who coached me on this work. I still see his markings on the music! I'm also reminded of my early performances on those Laubin Oboes made by Al and Paul.

Introducing A New Service

I am accepting a few students of all levels for coaching! With years of experience as a professional oboist, reedmaker and teacher, I help oboists identify root causes of their playing and reedmaking problems — and recommend solutions. Often the difference between success and failure is a fine point.

Performing major works with major collaborators was a great way to begin my career. At a very early age I was forced to explore and analyze playing and reedmaking techniques to develop a reliable reedmaking system. I can pass this knowledge to the next generation looking for reliable answers.

I hope you will enjoy a few excerpts from this live broadcast of Prokofiev's Romeo And Juliet, Suite No.2 from my first performance.

I published “The Illustrated Encyclopedia Of Oboe Reedmaking” to assist oboists and teachers understand and perfect the process of making reeds.

Now, I’m introducing the digital audio/visual companion to my books to help people gain a better grasp of the fine points of playing and reedmaking that can not be fully captured in illustration and text.

I hope you will find these courses and offerings inspirational and educational.
