​Kaden Klein is an oboe, English horn, clarinet, and saxophone player and music educator based in Madison, WI. An Oregon, Wisconsin native, he began taking private oboe lessons starting in middle school, which led him to pursue music. He recently graduated from Penn State University, where he was the Graduate Teaching Assistant in Oboe and received an M.M. in Oboe Performance. He also received a B.M. in Multiple Woodwind Performance (Oboe, Saxophone, and Clarinet) from the University of Michigan. Kaden has performed with a variety of ensembles, including Harrisburg Symphony and Pennsylvania Chamber Orchestra. Utilizing his woodwind doubling skills, he also performed in musical theatre pit orchestras with Harrisburg Theatre and Penn State University’s School of Musical Theatre.  Regarding his teaching philosophy, Kaden believes students can grow a lot from studying an instrument and making music. He provides a judgment-free zone for students at any level to study oboe and for beginner-level students to study saxophone or clarinet.
