Gabrielle stresses both fundamentals and musicality in her approach to teaching the oboe. Students are assigned different scales, long tones, and etudes each week, as well as a piece to work on. She believes a basic understanding of music theory and history improves a student's appreciation of the oboe, as does a knowledge of important oboists' playing, and therefore includes aspects of these subjects in lessons. Gabrielle caters her lessons to the specific needs and interests of her students, and she encourages diligent practicing. She is also available for reed-making lessons.
