Re: low notes

Assuming reed is good and oboe adjusted properly ( big assumption with rental and school instruments):
Relax lower jaw, make embrochure more rounded as if you are sucking a straw in a thick malted milk , and flatten chin. Often I have my students who are having low-note trouble play their E and then slur down one note at a time, rather than tonguing each. As they try to go downward gradually increase speed and air flow. Have patience-sometimes its takes a while before those low notes come out. Lois Barton
