My best advice to you is that you should look into getting a really good private lesson teacher who is great at oboe, teaches it well, and makes their own handmade reeds. Commercial reeds just won't do it past middle school.
If you decide to buy your own oboe or english horn, include your lesson teacher or band director in the process.
1:44 She's ready to learn vibrato! awesome! Can't wait to hear her playing in a few years... YOu're brave to let a 5 year old touch your oboe. I don't let my almost 4 year old touch mine..
I give you a lot of credit for having the patience to let the little ones try it out... I'm so nervous around my oboe, always worried the reed will chip if I set it down too suddenly, etc. haha so I respect that you put that aside to let them have an experience they won't forget - possibly even pick up Oboe later =)
Thats an oboe for you; to make it sound more like a lovely duck and less like a dying duck, my best advise is to control your embouchure and air flow.... if you are blowing too forcefully through the reed, it increases the vibrations and makes it squaky. take the reed only & try different wind speeds and pressures, gives you an idea of how the sound changes, then add the instrument, choose 1 note to play, try the same technique with your air, and this should make you more aware. Good luck!
this was the first time she ever saw an oboe in person, If you listen closely, in either this video or the next one, I explain how to play a b, a, and c. she picked it up really quickly.
I have let my 6 year old sister play on my oboe. Its always interesting and she hates when I take it away this is so adorable! I think shes a natural.
A lot of oboists start after learning the flute or clarinet (when their band director makes them...) Personally, I started when I was 14. You have a lot of work ahead of you, but I promise that it is totally worth it and as you get better and better, you mature even more than you would have without the oboe. Seriously, this instrument has been one of the best (and sometimes worst, I won't lie to you) thing that has happened to me. Just remember: don't slack off!! Good luck!
cant even hold my notes that long lol...5th grade od 6th sign her up..she has the talent...wunder if she knows how to read notes...she playing 1 of the 2 double reeed intruments...bassoon and oboe....mom is that urs
cute lol.
