 Re: Learning to play oboe without a teacher after a few months of lessons?

Thank you for your reply.

I spoke to my teacher today and she didn't seem to think that I'd be able to learn to adjust my own reeds by November. I will try asking again next week, perhaps she would be willing to give me some extra lessons so I can learn it.

I don't understand though why I am having so much difficulty with reeds. Even buying "soft" reeds, I struggle to get sound out of the reed, and get dizzy within only a few seconds of playing. I'll try pinching the reed after soaking and see how it helps. Do you think it is possible that it is something that will just get better with time the more I practice, and I'll be able to play on reeds that haven't had to be softened so much by scraping? I'm finding it very discouraging to not be able to play on a "soft" reed.
