Introduction: My students receive excellent ratings in solo/ensemble contests, get into regional/all-state ensembles, and also youth orchestras/ensembles. I use my professional training and experience to help guide my students through every obstacle. The best part about teaching is seeing my students accomplish their goals. I love seeing them happy while they perform and in their lessons :)

Colton is a driven, and professional musician. His passion for music has shown through in his dedication and passion to his craft . I have attended his recitals and he truly understands how to perform. He brings life and expression in his phrasing, and only continues to grow as a musician and performer. The knowledge and training he has obtained is an excellent resource that should be shared. Colton is down to earth, approachable, and very likable colleague and friend.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I prefer teaching oboe in my home where I have access to tools to help with student's reeds as well as have all equipment necessary to help with any instrument malfunction. If I do travel, a traveling fee of $10 is added to lesson fees.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
For a new student, I like to set up a discounted "trial lesson" where we meet for a half hour, look over any potential music and lesson plans from other music studies, and get to know each other briefly. By doing this, the student and family members may get to know me and decide if the situation is a good fit, as well as discussing the next step. This is a great introduction to lesson expectations and relating to one another without diving right into the music lesson.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Currently, I am a Doctoral of Musical Arts candidate at Stony Brook University, studying oboe performance and pedagogy. I have many years of performing and teaching experience with oboe. Although I did not earn degrees in piano, I have studied piano extensively before pursuing oboe as my career, totaling 20 years of piano and 10 years of oboe.
