Dr. Angela Lickiss Aleo, Oboe and English horn

 Angela started playing the piano at age 3 and was immediately hooked. She began playing the oboe when she was 11 years old. She earned a Bachelor of Music in Oboe Performance from Middle Tennessee State University, a Master’s of Music in Oboe Performance from The Boston Conservatory, and a Doctorate of Music in Oboe Performance and Pedagogy with a Secondary Area in Music History from the University of Iowa. She wrote her DMA thesis about Ross Edwards and his music for Oboe and English horn. Her teachers were Dewayne Pigg, Kyoko Hida, Mark Weiger, Humbert Lucarelli, and Andrew Parker.

Dr. Lickiss Aleo enjoys playing all genres of music, though she enjoys playing new music and exposing young players to new music that they might otherwise have overlooked.  She recently finished Expanding Your Toolbox: A guide to beginning contemporary techniques for Oboe, an etude book designed to teach high school and college age players to produce contemporary techniques and be able to play a suggested list of standard repertoire that requires these techniques. She is currently working on recording the etudes from Expanding Your Toolbox to be made available soon on this website. Check back soon for new updates!
