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

Thanks Wes, is this a common problem for beginners? I wasn't sure if it just meant my embouchure muscles are too weak to hold the reed in the right shape to play, and I'm needing them scraped to make them soft enough that I can control them.

Do oboists generally work towards being able to play harder reeds as they progress, or is it more of a personal preference and one might always stay with soft reeds? Does the sound quality differ between them by much? I just remember when I was in school, single reed players competing with each other to play harder reeds, and wasn't sure if I should be aiming towards harder reeds over time.
