For Oboists (Grades 6-12)


Lessons with Misty Rondeau

Nothing ensures personal musical growth and accomplishment like taking private lessons from a knowledgable oboist! Prof. Rondeau offers lessons to oboe students (grades 6-12) in the western North Carolina area.

Lessons may be conducted at Prof. Rondeau’s office at Mars Hill University or may be arranged to be held at your school (either after the school day ends or during your band class). 

Lessons are scheduled either weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly and may be 30 minutes ($20), 45 minutes ($30), or 60 minutes ($40) in length. "Emergency lessons" are not preferred — success in an audition is not guaranteed after a single lesson the week of the event.
