Michael Adduci is a doctoral candidate in oboe performance at the University of North Texas, where he studied with Charles Veazey. He holds Bachelor's degrees in biology and music from the University of Idaho and a Master's degree in oboe performance from the University of North Texas. Before moving to California, Mr. Adduci taught oboe at Southeastern Oklahoma State University and was a Teaching Fellow at the University of North Texas. He was an active freelance musician in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and in surrounding communities, playing regularly with many groups including the Abilene Philharmonic Orchestra, the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra and the Las Colinas Symphony Orchestra. Recently Michael has performed with Symphony Silicon Valley and with Ballet San Jose, and he has appeared as a soloist with the Chamber Orchestra of Denton, the Chabot Wind Symphony and the San José Wind Symphony.
Mr. Adduci's teaching emphasizes tone production and reed making. Technical facility is acquired through the study of melodic and technical etudes including the Ferling, Hite, Salviani and Sellner etudes among others. Tone production and phrasing are studied using the Barret oboe method and the Ferling etudes. Solo repertoire will cover all stylistic periods and national schools of composition. Additionally, students will learn the physiological factors at work in playing the oboe so that they can make informed decisions about correct playing techniques. Relaxation, rather than tension, is the key to a beautiful oboe sound.
