Student Teacher Program

The Student Teacher Program (STP) is currently full for Spring 2023, and we are taking names for a waiting list. Prospective students can still sign up below, and Laura will contact you to discuss the lesson options. Thanks!
The Student Teacher Program (STP) offers lessons to oboists with less than 2 years playing experience, while giving advanced high school students the opportunity to develop teaching skills.

STP lessons can be in person, via Zoom, or a hybrid model.
​Who can be part of the Student Teacher Program?
  • Oboe students in their first year or two of playing
  • High school students currently in Medisky Oboe Studio (read current teacher bios)

How does it work?
Fill out New Student Form, and Laura will match you with a Student Teacher from her studio. Both the student and the Student Teacher must be able to commit to regular weekly lessons and follow the Student Teacher Program policies.

How much does it cost?
Lessons are 30 minutes, and rates depend on Student Teacher experience.
