Oboe Weekend in NYC
August 27th to 30th
I'm excited to share that I'll be in New York at the end of August, and I'd love to spend some time with you while I'm there!
I've put together a few different opportunities to connect, depending on what you're looking for. All events will be hosted by Kristin Bertrand at the Woodwind Workshop:
111 South Tyson Ave
Floral Park, NY 11001
Saturday, August 29 (10:00 AM–4:30 PM)
Sunday, August 30 (1:00–4:30 PM)
This two-day boot camp is open to oboists of all levels.
We'll spend the weekend working through the entire reedmaking process together, including:
Reed analysis and adjustment
Winding
Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3 scrapes
Finishing reeds so they play the way you actually want them to
This class will contain enough time for everyone to get individual help. The group will be small, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to ask questions, get feedback on your reeds, and work through problems as they come up.
All cane and staples are included, so don't worry about wasting materials while you're learning—that's part of the process.
Cost: $450
Oboe Reed Boot Camp
Private Lessons & Coaching
Friday, August 28
I'll also be setting aside time on Friday for individual sessions.
Want feedback on excerpts? A lesson? Help with reeds? Career advice? Audition prep? Something else you're working through?
I'm happy to tailor the session to whatever would be most useful.
30- and 60-minute appointments will be available.
Booking information is below.
Portfolio Career Workshop
Friday, August 28 • 3:00 PM
For the musicians (and creatives) who are trying to build a career that's bigger than one job.
We'll talk about creating a portfolio career, balancing different kinds of work, and building something that's both financially sustainable and personally meaningful.
Free.
