I have a Single Reed Oboe Mouthpiece so that it's easier for me to blow. Some Oboes have an Extra Key that allows you to play one more note lower than Bb down to Low A, & I wanted to extend the range down further 4 more notes to Low F.
I’m learning oboe for an upcoming concert and this really helped! I can’t get my oboe to not go high when I’m supposed to be playing low though. Do you have any tips for that? I think my embouchure is right and my oboe is put together properly, but I’m not 100% since I’m originally a clarinet player.
Very nice, thanks ! Could you please introduce us to the teacher on the video ? What is her name? Does she play in an orchestra ? Are there videos where she performs ?
4:17 So the embouchure is as if you're Whistling. That High C is the same High C that you might have heard Gonzo play on his Trumpet in the Muppet Show.
Thank you...thank you... thank you ❤... ho cominciato a prendere lezioni di oboe da pochissimo tempo ed ho 47 anni... È difficilissimo ma è uno strumento meraviglioso. Grazie per questo video... "no oboe"😉❤
André Reiter Insturments bought online have been found to be low quality and don’t play as well as instruments bought at a music store. Also make sure that you buy or rent an instrument from a MUSIC store. Don’t buy or rent it from a store unrelated to music. At least that’s what my band teacher says.😅
Nightwing 161310 lol thanks for the reply. However, in a music store, what is a respectable minimum price for one who’s “starting out”? I imagine it would be one made out of plastic, and not wood?
Even band teachers know very little about the true quality or condition of oboes. That goes for reeds as well. That goes for music store employees too! You need a professional Oboist or a quality oboe teacher to assess the quality and condition of ANY oboe. That's a fact. If it's a hobby you're looking for, you've found an expensive and time consuming one that you'll spend your entire life trying to learn more so that you can continue attempting to play better.
