Minneapolis and The Greater Twin Cities // Online Oboe Lessons
Brendon Bushman is a Minneapolis based oboist, chamber musician, and dedicated teacher with 20+ years experience.
Lessons & Teaching
My studio includes beginners, college students, and everything in between, with students from ages 11 to 75. Having taught privately since 1999, my students have made district and state level honor bands in Georgia, Texas, and Minnesota. Students have gone on to study music at colleges including The University of Minnesota Twin Cities, Florida State University, Arizona State University, & Louisiana State University.
Learning to play the oboe from Brendon is a real joy! He teaches with endless optimism, and what seems to be boundless energy.
PRIVATE STUDIO
I maintain private studios in South Minneapolis near Midtown Global Market / Powderhorn Park, and at Maestoso Music Studio in St. Louis Park, MN. Maestoso is conveniently located less than 15 minutes drive from Minnetonka, Edina, Golden Valley, & Eden Prarie; my home studio is VERY convient to Minneapolis addresses.
For those in St. Paul and the East Metro, I am also on faculty at The Laurel School of Music. Go to their site to find out more about our offerings there, and to setup a free trial lesson.
I also offer online lessons via Zoom, FaceTime, & Skype! ALL AGES WELCOME!
