good tone but i was bothered by how you would clip the last note short on phrases. I dont know if your embouchure was getting tired or you were running out of air but fix that and it will be a better performance. Watch yout tuning on the high A it seemed to be really sharp, dont pinch the reed and keep an open embouchure. Also us varying speeds of vibrato to make it interesting, A comon thing is 2 use fast vibrato on high notes and slow on lower notes. Much more could hav been done dynamically
I wish the sound was a little fuller. There's a lot to be said about thinking ahead of what you are playing. It could really help on intonation, which overall wasn't bad, but there were a few little spots. In addition, there should be a real flow to the piece that wasn't apparent through your interpretation. It seemed like the faster notes of the passage were hesitant and that took away from the performance. Overall, it certainly wasn't bad for an amateur player.
The only comments I really have to share is bring the horn down. You will get a more centered tone and also work on long tones. It will really develop your embouchure, endurance, and tone quality. Also pitch went a little sharp in the upper register, I'm going to think it might have been from pinching with your embouchure. Try to open up the back of your throat. It will improve the fullness of sound in the upper register. Great job. Keep working hard.
Hey! I play the oboe too, although I have only played for about 2 years so I'm deffinatly not as good. Can u tell me where u found the gabriels oboe music? That would be great! Btw! U have a very good sound on ur oboe =)
yeah I do. Start practicing REAL slow: so that you can play each note right and all the notes are of similar length. Practice in different rythms and different ways of playing (staccato, legato, portato). Sounds boring, and maybe it is, but it's really the best way to practice!
Practice with a metronome, and if you can play it 3 times after each other without making a mistake, you can put the metronome 1 higher. If you make a mistake, try once again.
If you make a mistake for the 2nd time in this tempo: go 3 steps slower, and practice again. I'll promise you that once you've reached the necessary speed, you will play it neatly, and won't play ... how do you call it in English.... messy? "over the notes"? (i'm sure that is not the expression in English, but it is in Dutch :) )
well its means that is incomplete. anyway the oboe is my favorite instrument and i play oboe to!! Ah! i play this song too! and you play it very well!
@nvgorcum it means that it's missing something... however i think you sounded beautiful... it is really difficut to find someone with that tone nowadays. everybody sounds plastic but this is real!
No, I can make my own reeds, but mostly I buy them from my teacher. Saves a lot of time, since I'm working, studying for school, and rehearsing with my orchestra's :)
wow, you've got such a "gentle" sound; it's insane. in a good way, of course. i've just never heard anyone w/ such a serene tone on an oboe. beautiful. :D
Marry me?

@leparditas One note at a time. There's something called multiphonics, but it's never going to sound like the chords played by a piano or guitar.

I suggest that you put the oboe lower and sit up more. Then you can control the pitch better.

I think your tone is the loveliest tone I have heard in youtube videos of student oboists. I especially like your vibrato.
