Testimonials
It has been a true privilege for our son Tomas to learn from Ms. Ellen Dahlström. She is an exceptionally dedicated, well-prepared, and talented teacher. Throughout Tomas’ journey learning the oboe—a challenging and complex instrument—Ms. Dahlström has been a fundamental guide and inspiration.
Her teaching goes far beyond simply explaining techniques; she plays alongside her students, making each lesson engaging and motivating. Her patience, passion, and commitment have made a tremendous difference for Tomas, who looks forward to every class. Thanks to her encouragement and consistent support, he practices daily and continues to grow not only as a musician but also in his confidence and love for music.
We have seen remarkable progress in Tomas’ playing, and even his school band director recently mentioned that he could be the next band leader, recognizing both his musical ability and enthusiasm—qualities that have flourished under Ms. Dahlström’s guidance.
We are deeply grateful for her exceptional teaching and the positive impact she has had on Tomas’ musical journey.
