Some of our current oboes still in use are over 40 years old, which is far beyond the lifespan of even the most well-maintained instruments, especially given how extensively they have been played in our program.

At our school, we often switch students to play the oboe to ensure full instrumentation in our ensembles. However, it’s essential to have quality instruments available so these students can take on this challenge and succeed. This project aims to provide a Fox 333 oboe, which will be the first of many that are needed to support our program. An oboe has not been purchased for the program in over 10 years, and considering the scale of our program, it is necessary to start replacing this segment of our inventory immediately.

The specific oboe we are requesting will give students a much-needed boost in their musical journey, opening doors to opportunities such as college scholarships—especially significant as oboists are in high demand. This instrument will ensure that our ensembles remain strong and that every student, regardless of their financial background, has the chance to learn, perform, and pursue music at a high level. Providing access to an updated oboe means these dedicated young musicians can thrive and achieve their full potential.

The Music Studio

Behind the Scenes!

Your Music Studio Executive Board comprises a group of parent volunteers elected to represent the interests of Music Studio families to the LaGuardia Parents Association (PA) and to LaGuardia’s Music Department, and the opportunities and requirements of LaGuardia’s Music Department to families. Our goals are to support our Vocal and Instrumental students, and to assist in the school’s mission to educate and inspire our young musicians. We also provide financial support for Music Department needs. Please join us in supporting the unique talents of our children! Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or would like to get involved.
