The following are some of my go-to resources for my playing and teaching, in no particular order:
Recommended Zoom Settings for Musicians
Fifine USB Microphone – A great budget mic to improve fidelity over built-in device microphones for purposes such as Zoom lessons or recording.
Website for Linda Strommen. Contains excellent resources under “Teaching Materials” as well as some inspiring recording samples.
Understanding the Oboe Reed by Graham Salter: A fascinating book with an excellent section on the American oboe reed by Elaine Douvas and Linda Strommen.
Sound in Motion: A Performer’s Guide to Greater Musical Expression by David McGill: A great read for sorting out musical details, developing a more complete understanding of how notes relate to one another, and being clear and intentional in one’s musical preparation.
Zoom iQ7: An incredibly handy microphone that can be plugged into an iPhone or iPad and used along with the phone/tablet’s built-in camera to easily create videos with high-quality audio. A solid and reasonably-priced option for festival, recital, lesson, or practice recordings.
Beyond Talent by Angela Myles Beeching and The Savvy Musician 2.0 by David Cutler: my go-to music business textbooks for classical musicians. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to further explore how their artistry intersects with entrepreneurship and business.
