PRIVATE WOODWIND LESSONS

Individual instruction for every stage of musicianship.

Reed & Key offers private lessons in oboe, saxophone, clarinet, and flute for children and adults, available at our Lakehurst studio or at home throughout Ocean County and surrounding areas.

PERSONALIZED INSTRUCTION

Lessons built around the student.

Every student comes to music with different goals, strengths, experience, and interests. Lessons are tailored to the individual, with an emphasis on strong fundamentals, musical confidence, and steady progress.

Students may work on school music, solo repertoire, auditions, technique, tone production, sight-reading, musicianship, performance preparation, or simply becoming a more confident and expressive player.
