Testimonials

Ted Harrison

The Invincible Oboist is a wonderful and immersive experience for people at all levels of oboe playing. Regardless of the level you’re at, everyone has something to gain and something to contribute in the group.  It is wonderfully collaborative and collegial. Jennet is so willing to meet you wherever you are and work on the things that you’re having trouble with and help you become and better and more confident oboist.

The Invincible Oboist will change how you feel about being an oboist.

It is so worth it!  The [Zero to Reedmaker] class was great and I learned more about reed making in it than I did all through my college music degree.  My reeds and process are more consistent now, and I feel far less stressed out about reed making.  Jennet is a natural teacher, and you can tell that she is passionate about the oboe and about helping people succeed.  I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning more about oboe reed making.

Julie Combs, on Zero to Reedmaker

This class really changed my life and my mind and my spirit about the oboe.  It helped center me and give me the confidence to get back into reedmaking, practicing, and playing after being away.  The instruction was clear, articulate, and succinct.  Suggestions were offered with grace and kindness.  The smallest victories were celebrated in community, and the obstacles were treated as survivable “speed bumps.”  Anyone who wants to improve their physical reed skills and hone their mind game about reeds needs to take this class!

For me TIO was eye opening; so many things I did not know. Weekly meetings were extremely helpful for that course.  I have loved the oboe since high school (1974 grad) and had decided that at my age, playing oboe would be too hard because of all the variables involved – especially reeds.  Zero to Reedmaker helped me realize why store bought reeds did not work for me. I found good reed makers and am close to making my own and Oboe FLOW has helped my confidence tremendously.  One-to-One meetings and the masterclass format have given me feedback that allows me to grow and play better.  I think the most important thing that helps is the community.  Playing alone or with a teacher was not enough to help me blossom.  The music, feedback, and camaraderie have created a safe environment that has encouraged me to be brave enough to reach for my dreams.  I am making music and I love it!!!!!

Not everyone has the opportunity to be a part of a musical community so this Zoom course is awesome. The masterclass format allows everyone to play and receive kudos as well as feedback.  There is no comparison and I have gained enough confidence to play in front of others.  This has fueled my desire to practice, improve, and grow as a musician. I am no longer playing alone at home.  I am part of a supportive group and I highly recommend it.

About two years ago, I decided to learn to play the oboe so that I could provide a much-needed instrument for our community band. I am a life-long flute player with a degree in music performance. However, after months of private oboe lessons, I found myself “stuck” and frustrated . Practice sessions were not enjoyable or satisfying, as I had no idea how to make the oboe “sing”,  and I held some major misconceptions about what was involved in creating a “correct” embouchure.  My oboe sound was awful, and I simply could not figure out what to do next. My reeds never worked well, but I had no idea how to make them better. Then, to my delight, I discovered Jennet’s Five Minute Reedmaker videos online, and loved how she explained things. It all just “felt” so right.
So when I had an opportunity to study reedmaking with her through the on-line Zero To Reedmaker course, I immediately signed up! I registered for the VIP version–two incredible private sessions with Jennet and a month of Reed Club included. And I am so glad I did! I also joined her 6-session Warm-up series and watched the Demystifying the Upper Register class. I am not being hyperbolic when I say that the past two months with Jennet have taken my playing and reedmaking confidence to a whole new level. I even learned how to adjust my own instrument–greatly increasing my ability to hit those really low notes with ease! Jennet gives you the “whys”–not just a bunch of rules. She works so hard to understand the challenges faced by each student (including many of us “older” adults), and her metaphors make understanding the innumerable subtleties of the oboe so much more accessible.
I can’t wait until our band finally gets together again later this year. So looking forward to performing and showing off greatly improved oboe skills. Thanks to Jennet!!!
