Carnegie Hall Oboe Master Class: Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4 

"You stand like an accountant."

This oboe mentor is so chill. I like him.

he honestly doesnt sound bad. His sound is very good. he just needs to use more air and work on phrasing. but other than that? he's extremely talented

he improved that much that fast im beyond impressed

The most beautiful teaching class I have ever seen. The teacher helps the student explore himself, draw out his ability to the full extent and complete it to the perfection, without demonstrating by himself.

My compliments to John Winstead. He managed to play the solo in one breath, as Albert sugested. Oh, he almost fainted, but this is another story. - I'll keep the image of standing as a lumberjack and then facing the solo. - Interesting... whenever I played this, I saw fields covered by snow, and the calm of the winter....

Am I the only one who watches these because the instruments sound amazing?

1:05: Albrecht's Italian pronunciation is perfect standard Tuscan, the purest Italian of all.

That's what I do all day. I cut down trees. And put out stretchers for oboe players about to pass out from lack of oxygen. :P

I have to play this in a concert with the Norwood Symphony Orchestra on the 8th of July in the Norwood Concert Hall in South Australia. Thank you so much for this lesson. I learned a lot! Oh, and I’m also an Accountant 😂

God I love him Such great advice for any wind player.

Wow. That was incredible. Thanks!

What a brilliant teacher

Someone disliked the brilliant teaching of an established professional that instruments of all kinds respect. Pity. And for the student, bravo. You are absolutely incredible. It is obvious you love what you do.

VERY HELPFUL!!!!!Thx Albrect!!!!!!!!!!!!

Albrecht Mayer is a genius and a vorbildlicher Mensch. Young Mr. Winsead will likely have a great career ahead of him. Hats off to both of these gentlemen.

Can you jerks all be nice, he's a very great oboe player, just like what was already said here, he wouldn't be there for nothing, he did very awesome, stop criticizing, I bet none of you can play as good as him, you don't deserve that, but he does.

Awesome lesson.

As a Canadian, the lumberjack comment offe... offers great advice! 🙏 Thanks!

The composer wrote "Andante In Modo Di Canzona", translated: Moderately slow, in song mode.

I should have watched this before filming my audition video for the National Youth Orchestra of Iraq, I had the same solo and I had the same problem I couldn't finish it with one breath.

*In reply to Turdy, who said "I watch it to feel superior, because I think the flute sounds better :-P" That is a matter of opinion. I know that the reason many enjoy Oboe is that it is the closest thing to the sound of a human voice, singing- an Oboe is two reeds vibrating against each other, and singing is your two vocal cords vibrating against each other. I personally fell in love with the Oboe's 'unique' sound (I play oboe), but that is my opinion, on the instrument I enjoy the most. No instrument is the best or the worst. They are all essential and important in an orchestra or band. Of course, when you listen to beginning players, Flute sounds okay, maybe a little breathy. Oboes, however, sound like a dying duck. Clarinets sound like a choking cat. (Etc...)

Thank you~ sir.

hes got beautiful one and phrasing

About the most helpful advice for the oboist

This video makes me want to take up oboe again!

This video was really helpful and now I want to try playing this, does anyone know where I can find this sheet music??

Is he playing on a royal 125?

Is their a English Horn Master class

Good

Damn those lumberjacks!

I am an oboist and I have a problem to play for a long period of time, for example, when I try to play a concerto. After a while, the air starts to pass through my nasal cavity instead of my oboe, and it forces me to stop. Does anyone has the same problem or has a suggestion for me to solve this?.

lovely sound but whats with his Embouchure lol?

Just got my first oboe today!

He's to scared to take a deep breath

Что у этого парня с постановкой. В первый раз такую вижу.

I have a big problem I play the saxaphone and my band director favors the only oboe player in my school band . which I think is reasonable,but today I tried to play the oboe and I could I played the song marry had a little lamb w/ no problem and it felt right so I asked him if I could change instruments and he said basically no. So here I am trying to get help. Please help me. Thank you for your time.😊

One breath could be done but it will not be stable even the master。

LOLOL "people in Canada"

So many old comments

What oboe does Albrecht use?

Ambouchure is ok. His problem is breath..

Im a flutist and i dont know anything about air control on the oboe but i can see the difference when flutists breath. Its a big *gasps for air. Ahhahahaa

I think this oboe player totally sold me some bogus oboe reeds on ebay.

This student isn't just a robot but I find him also disrespectful how he just stares at the music rather then looking at the teacher when he is trying to teach him.

wonderful direction from the master, but the young student is rather shy and lacking in the real skills needed for breath/power control. My specialty as a voice coach is helping people learn a very easeful way of expanding/stregnthening the in/out breath.

don't meet your heroes.

His embochure is horrible

Why is the student a lifeless robot? Come on bro have some emotion.

I watch it to feel superior, because I think the flute sounds better :-P

I really don't like how John Winstead plays. It's without any kind of emotion. Just notes he plays and his sound is like a 8 year old girl without any power. Why does someone like Mayer teach such an beginner of oboe? Please breeeeathe little guy

This is the same gay scale song the bassoon player was doing. Wtf is this shit. Prolly pay 50k a year to play a scale on a gay instrument.
