Subj: [kl] while on the subject of oboe

Hello All!
Recently (the past 2 years) I've been basically sick of playing clarinet.
So I started doubling on flute. I don't want to play flute, but I wanted to
have something other than clarinet, and it so happens that we had a flute
lying around the house. So now I play clarinet and flute. I love playing
clarinet, it's just that the motivation isn't always there. When I first
started playing clarinet, I had wanted to play oboe. I've wanted to play
oboe since I was 3. I got into band when I was 10 (5th grade) on clarinet.
My father (a trumpet/sax player) and my band director had told me that when
I was in 8th grade I could switch to oboe. Well, 8th grade came, and I was
the best clarinet, so my band director wouldn't let me switch. I got out of
8th grade and entered the 9th grade, I was the best clarinet there too (I'm
in 10th grade and homeschooled now) so the band director wouldn't let me
switch. I don't want to completely switch to clarinet, but I would like to
at least try oboe, and maybe double on it rather than flute. Well, that
would be my dilemma and I'm asking you in the clarinet world to give me your
input, thanks!!
