Stephanie is a REMARKABLE OBOIST! She played a beautiful line for my film score and even gave me an extra take to play with. Her recording is professional quality and turned it around in great time. I will definitely hire her again! Thank you, Stephanie!

Stephanie recorded a beautiful and elegant oboe for the song, which was able to give a fundamental color to the production. Excellent technique, very kind and wonderful communication. I hope we will soon have the opportunity to collaborate again together.

I have worked with Stephanie on three orchestral tracks now, and each time she has delivered a perfect performance on some quite demanding music. Her remote recordings of both oboe and english horn are clear, bright and professional . First class musician! Highly recommended.
