Olivia Tomasovic's Profile

Background:

I am a freelance woodwind musician and teacher based in Glasgow where, after initial training as a classical oboist in Croatia, I completed my education at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. I have extensive music teaching experience both privately and in music schools with woodwinds where I use tailored approaches to best meet the needs and ambitions of my students. I play the oboe, cor anglais, flute, clarinet, and saxophone, and have performed both as a soloist and with a variety of orchestras and chamber groups in the UK and across Eastern and Central Europe. I am qualified to teach music (oboe, flute, clarinet, and saxophone) in English and Croatian (as I am bilingual) and can teach all levels, including exam preparation. My teaching toolkit includes an accessible fun repertoire alongside more formal pieces, exercises to develop breathing techniques and enhance sight-reading skills, and improvisation as a method to build self-confidence and creativity as a performer.
