My teacher assigned me some 4th of July music 2 do a concert for my family. I paused on one song because I couldn't see. I messed up a few times, but I've only been playing the oboe for about 9 months.

  • u need to practice more longtones. it will better develope your tone and sound quality. and it will help build your embechure. i could tell your mouth was sore at the end.

  • I'm an oboist as well and this would be my 6th year playing oboe. I wanna share a few tips for any beginners who read this: If you find that your mouth is getting sore during a performance, try your best to keep playing until you reach a rest. When you hit the rest, take the reed out of your mouth completely. Remember, a rest is a time to "rest" so why keep the reed in your mouth because that requires energy from the mouth, get it? Also, to prevent soreness, practice more to build up the muscle
