Remembering some SOI shenanigans from a few weeks ago!

07/01/2026

We’ve reached our final SOI spotlight!

Meet Julia Bradley, an oboist, reed maker, and arts administrator currently studying Oboe Performance and Arts Management at Indiana University. She is the reason why the social media has been more active lately since she is our social media coordinator!

For our final Reed Thread Insights feature, Julia shared her favorite thread color, her reedmaking nemesis, and a fun fact that might explain her strong opinions on thread colors.

Thanks for following along with our SOI team spotlights! We can’t wait to see everyone next week!

We’re almost finished with our SOI faculty introductions!

Today we’re excited to spotlight Mandy Leach, a recent graduate of Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music, active performer, teacher, and proud SOI alumna.

Of course, we also asked Mandy about her reed thread preferences. Check out her Reed Thread Insights below!

Stay tuned for our final spotlight of our SOI team!

Another SOI faculty spotlight is here!

Today we’re featuring Machiko Ogawa Schlaffer, Assistant Principal Oboe of the Alabama Symphony Orchestra and a valued member of the SOI faculty.

Of course, we had to ask her about reed thread colors!

Stay tuned for the last two SOI team spotlights in the next few days!

Another SOI faculty spotlight is here!

Today we’re featuring Kelly, one of our fantastic teaching artists. We couldn’t resist asking her about reed thread colors, and her answer included a longtime favorite, an English horn warning, and a fun seasonal tradition!

Stay tuned for more SOI faculty spotlights!

Another SOI faculty spotlight is here!

Today we’re excited to spotlight our fabulous SOI Director, Julie Grasso!

An accomplished oboist, educator, and entrepreneur, Julie is the founder of Double or Nothing Reeds and has dedicated her career to supporting and inspiring the next generation of double reed musicians.

And of course, we asked Julie about her favorite reed thread colors too!

Another SOI faculty spotlight is here!
