Her other orchestral experience includes performances with the Sarasota Orchestra, Houston Ballet Orchestra, San Antonio Symphony, Shreveport Symphony, and the New World Symphony. Ms. Henneke previously served as Second Oboe/English Horn with the Richardson Symphony and as English Horn/Third Oboe with the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHYTEACHING PHILOSOPHY
As an oboe instructor, my goal is to nurture and inspire dedicated and passionate oboists while preparing them for careers in the music industry. I tailor my teaching to each student’s unique learning style, emphasizing fundamentals, performance techniques, and score analysis, with a special focus on reed-making. I am committed to helping students build confidence in all areas of oboe performance—technique, musical expression, and reed craftsmanship. This personalized approach has led to many student successes, including acceptance into prestigious programs at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, Yale University, the Cleveland Institute of Music, and Carnegie Mellon University, as well as participation in renowned summer festivals like the Aspen Music Festival and Interlochen Arts Camp.
Lessons are offered both in person and online. Please reach out to me for more details and scheduling.
