Student Teacher Biographies
Rachel Yoo
Middleton High School, 12th grade
Rachel is a senior at Middleton High School and has played oboe for seven years. This is her fifth year in the Wisconsin Youth Symphony, where she currently plays in the Youth Orchestra, the Chamber Orchestra, and the Lalita Honors Woodwind Quintet. For the past two years, Rachel has successfully auditioned into the WSMA State Honors Project, performing in both the band and orchestra. She has also performed in Medisky Oboe Studio master classes for Marc Fink (retired UW-Madison professor) and Dr. Andrea Gross Hixon (UW-Oshkosh professor, Madison Symphony). Outside of oboe, Rachel enjoys photography, playing tennis, and listening to other forms of music.
Favorite oboe memory: Going on a trip to Spain with the Middleton High School band, and visiting Toledo, Madrid, and Valencia. It’s a favorite memory because I got to play with the band in a foreign country and meet others my age in Spain who also play in bands.
