 Learning English horn?
Author: newedit617

Could anyone share tips on playing English horn for the first time? I'm a "serious amateur" oboist playing for 15+ years but have never tried English horn and would like to. I don't have a teacher anymore, so I'll probably rent from a music store at first. My main question is about the learning curve. Should I expect to sound like a wounded duck for a while, or is the reed and embouchure similar enough to sound decent? Are there any suggestions about reeds? On an oboe I can tell if the reed needs to be adjusted, but on an English horn I won't know if the poor sound is due to my inexperience or due to a poor quality reed. Thanks for any help!
