It always bothered me, when taking the multitude of education courses at McGill music, UQAM and UOttawa (Fac. of Ed.) when they would tell us that children need to be "technically challenged" to keep their interest.
I always HATED having a difficult time! For me, music was the one thing I was naturally good at... I was interested in everything else, but instruments are the only thing that I could just pick up and start playing without anyone to help me along.
The oboe is certainly harder than the sax or trumpet (or most others), but apart from the headaches I got with my 1st "wood" reeds, I found it just as easy as any other instrument. Tuning was never an issue until I got good enough to play the brand-new (used) Signet Soloist (Selmer, Paris) with full conservatoire key system.
To me, the oboe is nothing other than the voice of my soul. Nowadays, I feel a little disoriented when I tackle a tune that is not technically difficult (speedy)... I feel lost if I don't struggle to improve my tuning and my sound... I seem to have forgotten how to just enjoy playing. I kind of hope that will return as I play more.
