I am available for lessons, master classes and solo appearances. If you're interested in studying oboe at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and would like to arrange a campus visit and lesson, please contact me.
Information on oboe studies, reeds, upcoming performances, my compositions and some recordings are available in the links above. To see my bio, visit my UWSP Music Department page.
Why study oboe at UWSP?
The oboe studio is part of the outstanding music department at the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point. The studio consists of music majors (double majors are welcome, too), music minors and even non-majors who want to continue studies on oboe.
If you are considering UWSP, you are encouraged to arrange a “day on campus.” This allows prospective students the opportunity to attend classes and rehearsals, get a lesson with Prof. Berk and meet students already in the program. You'll be able to experience the environment and see if it is the right fit for you. Please contact Prof. Berk or Monica Anderson in the music department office to schedule. For more information regarding auditions, admission and scholarships please visit the Music Department website.
