Kelly Longmire:
Oboist - Reed Making Coach - Yoga Teacher
I’m an oboist, reed maker, and yoga teacher. I help oboists make consistent, reliable reeds so they can play with ease and enjoy performing.
I support reed makers with guidance and community through The Reed Lab, my weekly coaching membership. And if you’re not quite making them consistently yet, I also sell handmade reeds in my online shop.
I’m here to meet you where you are and support you through your reed making journey.
Want weekly reed making accountability & support?
Join The Reed Lab
The Reed Lab is a membership for oboists who want to make consistent, reliable reeds with ongoing support and community.
We meet virtually once a week so you have the accountability you need to make progress.
“I’m an adult amateur oboist who began learning to make reeds six months ago. Our weekly gathering for Reeb Lab has helped me focus on reed making amid my busy schedule, and Kelly has been extremely patient as a guide and teacher. I highly recommend the Reed Lab for anyone looking to enhance their reed making skills.”

What People Are Saying:
“Kelly is an expert in her field and truly the best thing that could have happened to me as a young musician. She met me at the skill level I was at and provided meaningful feedback in all aspects of being an oboist, including reed making, tone, and expressiveness. I feel fully confident in my abilities as a developed musician thanks to her mentorship.”
— Madelyn C.
“Ms. Kelly was my first ever oboe teacher, she taught me the basics of oboe playing and what it was like to be not just an oboe player, but to be a good well rounded musician as well. Each day as I pick up the oboe and warm up I think about the lessons she taught me on technique and tone production. Without her guidance I would not be on the path that I am today as a musician and as an educator, and for that I am forever grateful.”
— Troy W.
