Suzie Shrubb studied oboe with Sue Hawkins and, at Lancaster University, with Barbara Ingleby. She continued her oboe studies at Trinity College of Music with Stephen Nagy. Whilst in London, Suzie performed in a variety of ensembles, including the Wallace Ensemble, and at St Johns Smith Square with the Blackhorse Chamber Orchestra.

She now works as a freelance oboist and teacher of both young and more mature people learning the oboe and piano. She also directs ensemble at the County Music Centres where she has a concert band and double reed ensemble.

Suzie plays regularly with orchestras and chamber ensembles, and on soundtrack recordings for film, most notably the award- winning "37 Uses for a Dead Sheep".
