I’m sorry – I should have been a little more detailed in my explanation. Actually, you don’t use the oboe at all, you just begin by breathing in and out slowly and just loud enough, so you can hear the breath movement. You want to work on making the action, as effortless as possible. When you feel it is as comfortable and natural as you can make it, then you can gradually increase the panting rate.
As I was thinking about this and not having ever played the clarinet, it occurred to me, that whatever happens in the breath system to produce vibrato on the clarinet, needs to be “scaled” back (no pun intended), on the oboe. Maybe, 50% or more (or would that be less?), as I believe there is a substantial difference in air flow rate between the two. Good luck, Loree BF51
