Reed-making
Reed-making is an essential skill for any oboist hoping to bring their playing to a college or professional level. I teach reed-making at the same hourly rates as lessons. Reed-making can be a part of regular weekly lessons or an additional, less frequent session. If you are a beginning reed-maker, I can guide you in your purchase of the essential tools you'll need.
Reeds for Sale
I also sell oboe and English horn reeds. Hand-made reeds offer a significantly superior product to machine-made factory reeds. Reeds must be ordered at least 1 week in advance, or a $5/reed rush fee will be charged.
Student reeds, current private lesson students: $15
Student reeds, non-current students: $20
Professional reeds: $25
English horn reeds: +$5 / category above
*I can always reuse the staple, or the bottom part of the reed if you return it to me when the reed is done. Reuse and recycle!
