“The Ann Lemke Oboe Studio is the perfect place for aspiring oboists to grow and thrive. Dr. Lemke does an outstanding job of not only teaching, but also mentoring her students. From the recitals, to master classes, to emergency reed / oboe repairs, her love for this unique and challenging instrument is obvious and contagious.

Joining the Ann Lemke Oboe Studio is so much more than ‘signing up for private lessons.’ It’s really about joining the oboe family, the immediate studio family as well as the extended network of oboists of which Dr. Lemke is a valuable member. Suffice it to say, it has been a privilege to watch our daughter be touched and mentored by this studio experience.”
