Teaching Experience

Since starting her studio in Kansas 4 years ago, Leigh's students have won seats in Kansas All-State Band and Orchestra, Prairie Winds Honor Band, and Sousa Band.  They have received superior ratings at All-State Solo and Ensemble  for both solo and chamber performances.  Her students have also been selected for the Interlochen Bassoon Institute and have appeared as concerto soloists with area youth symphonies.

Leigh has experience giving private instruction on bassoon to students in middles school, high school, undergraduate and graduate students over 10 years.

Leigh is available to teach in the Lawrence, Topeka and Kansas City areas.  She even can travel to your home (for an extra fee) if you live within an hour drive of Lawrence - please use the contact page for more information on current rates. 

As a student you can also purchase handmade bassoon reeds from Leigh at a special rate.

MUSIC EDUCATORS - Leigh is available to come to your school to give a presentation and performance to current bassoon students or students thinking about switching to bassoon.
