 The Oboe BBoard

My school purchased a full Conservatory system wood oboe when I was in 9th grade. Our star clarinetist was given the oboe to play. I heard the
oboe sound wafting out of the music building one fine Fall day as I was strolling across campus. I stopped dead in my tracks. I just knew I had to play oboe at that moment. Fortunately, the star clarinetist's teacher soon declared that oboe playing was was interfering with his student's clarinet playing, so I glommed onto to the oboe immediately as soon as it was free. Previously I had been a sax player. The oboe was a revelation compared to saxophone, though for me it became principally a "stepping stone" to be able to play English horn. When I was studying oboe with John Mack, I mentioned (during a designated English horn lesson) that I would be happy to only ever play English horn. Mack snapped back, "Well! Any fool can play English horn! Oboe playing is where its at!" I had no equally snappy reply to offer, though I was not deterred at all. I had been most fortunate at age 15 to acquire a
magnificent Chauvet English horn, and having such a beautiful instrument
from early on simply deepened my passion for English horn over the years.
