I'm excited to announce the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire Summer Double Reed Camp for adult amateurs and high school students!! When: July 18-22. What: The camp will be divided into 2 concurrent camps for high school students and adults. There will be daily workshops, masterclasses, reed making classes, double reed ensembles, lessons, concerts/recitals, guest artists, and most importantly, FUN! Tuition is only $150 for the entire week and dorm housing is available for $100/wk for double occupancy or $126 for single rooms with a meal plan available.
 Contact Dr. Christa Garvey (garveycn@uwec.edu) for more information or to reserve a spot.

The main instructors will be:

Dr. Trent Jacobs, bassoon
Dr. Christa Garvey, oboe

High school students: this is your opportunity to improve LOADS in a short amount of time AND have fun with fellow oboists and bassoonists. Each student will receive intensive individual and group instruction, daily reed making workshops, participation in double reed ensembles, attend faculty and guest recital concerts, and lots of fun activities throughout the day.

Adults: Each student will receive intensive individual and group instruction, daily reed making workshops, participation in double reed ensembles, attend faculty and guest recital concerts.
The adult sessions will be in the morning and early afternoon, leaving time for participants to practice and enjoy the beauty of our area and enjoy the downtown Eau Claire area that is walking distance from campus (limited bus service is also available). We will also have evening concerts and time to enjoy the many outdoor evening events happening in Eau Claire in the summer. Rent or Bring a bike! The campus is located right on the beautiful Chippewa River and over 60+ miles of enjoyment on the Chippewa River Bike Trails. Weather averages in Eau Claire during July are 83F days/60F nights,  so come and enjoy the temperate climate.

This camp is for beginners through advanced players--all are welcome to participate in this week-long  event to learn a lot and have FUN being with other double reed players.

I look forward to meeting you!

Oboe Camps for Teens and Adults!

Hi All-

OK,  just letting the cat out of the bag with some early information so you can mark your calendars.  I'm planning 2 different oboe camps for July,  *tentatively* July 18-22.   One camp will be offered for teens, another for adult beginners and amateurs. Most of the classes will be separate and offer housing on the UW-Eau Claire campus at a very reasonable fee (still tentative, but around $100 for the entire duration of housing!). I'm still negotiating the tuition fee, but want it to be as low as possible for all of you. There will be masterclasses (think group lessons), presentations, reed making, double reed chamber music, and lots of fun things to experience on campus and in the downtown area. Oboe fun and more oboe fun and even more oboe fun!

Mark your calendars and send me a note at oboeforeveryone@gmail.com for more information!  I'll be posting a brochure as it gets made, but let me know if you have any questions. I really hope to see you there.

So excited, so excited!

Oboe and out,

The Oboist.
