While Babysitting one afternoon, we broke out the oboes and played! She's only 5 yrs old and playing on a professional strength reed and pro oboe...did I mention that this is also the 1st time she had ever touched an oboe?

NO NEGATIVE COMMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED, SHE IS ONLY 5... SO KEEP YOUR HATE WORDS TO YOURSELF!!!

  • does she know how to play notes?

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • How adorable! She's good for such a young girl (:

    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.

    Good luck!

  • She seemed like she was enjoying it.

  • cool! yea!

  • This is awesome!! I am very impressed, she seems to be very interested in music, and the oboe :) Bravo!

  • OMG awesome!! You should recommend lessons to her!!!

  • @mammal567 be more emotional when you play the oboe it helps you mentally and physically and also use vibratos

  • cute

  • You'll gradually learn how to control your lips... Don't push yourself :)
