  Oboe Reed Boot Camp

  $495.00 – $695.00

  Oboe Reed Boot Camp is an intensive weekend experience that takes place in South Bend, IN, on the lovely campus of St Mary’s College.  The EXTROBOE Experience is an enhancement to Boot Camp – adding masterclasses, chamber music, and oboe crafts to fill your weekend out with oboe education and fun.   Reedmakers and oboists at all levels are WELCOME! 

  2022 Dates:
  ORBC June 25-26, 9-5
  EXTROBOE June 24 12-6, June 25 9-8, June 26 9-5

  PLEASE NOTE. This is a LIVE, IN PERSON experience. We will be taking COVID protocols and social distancing into account, but we will be indoors and this experience is group based and we will be playing oboes together.   At this time, only FULLY VACCINATED people will be allowed to enroll, and we will ask for proof of COVID vaccine.  If this won’t work for you, I invite you to look at my ONLINE reedmaking course, Zero to Reedmaker, or to consider joining us live in 2023.

  Note: Advancing and Beginning categories address your REEDMAKING skills only. You could be an Advanced player but a Beginning reedmaker, in other words.   Beginners will start with learning to wind, basic knife skills, and reed construction steps. They will move more slowly.  Advancing Reedmakers will begin by making reeds, and will evolve and improve their existing skills over the weekend as they work with me, my Guest Master Reedmaker, and each other.

  NOTE: In 2022, there is another event happening in South Bend on Saturday – a Billy Joel concert at the stadium! The concert won’t impact our time together, but might make moving around in town a little more cumbersome – and as a result, hotels are more scarce and pricey than usual. Please book early, and consider staying a little bit out of town, like in Elkhart IN, St Joseph MI, or Berrien Springs MI.

  Zero to Reedmaker

  $197.00 – $947.00

  Zero To Reedmaker is an online course which helps oboists to easily make playable American Scrape reeds.  I’ll DEMYSTIFY the process and help you through each step with a self-paced, rewatchable video course and a supportive Facebook group, OR a combination of video content and weekly live group calls in which we can talk about YOUR specific problems.  At the end of this session, you will be able to make a playing reed from shaped cane in under 30 minutes – perhaps well under – and adjust it to your comfort. 

  The video-only self-paced course is available at any time; the full course with live classes will run again in late 2022.

  Pricing:

  Videos Only $197– Self-paced course.  I’ll share all videos and handouts at the start of the program and you can take it from there!  No cane or supplies are included, but the Facebook group will be open to you for support for the entire six weeks.

  Full course $597 – You’ll get immediate access to those videos and handouts, the Facebook group, a weekly email guiding you through the curriculum, AND six 90 minute live group zoom sessions where I can answer YOUR questions in real time, look at your scraping technique, demonstrate skills, and share encouragement, ideas, and reedmaking philosophies.  This level also includes a bundle of cane and staples so you can feel free to make MISTAKES as you learn – a $165 value!

  VIP level $947 – includes all of the above and adds two 1X1 sessions with me during the course and one full month of Reed Club membership at the conclusion of ZtR to support your reedmaking journey. This level of additional support would cost $529 if purchased separately!
