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

Thank you for your detailed response. I'm definitely finding the harder reeds more difficult to vibrate - I get no sound and don't feel them "buzz", it feels more like I'm just blowing a lot of air through a tube. I think the combination of the large amount of air I am blowing into these harder reeds, and me straining to try and control it, might be what is causing me to get dizzy so quick. I will work on getting my embouchure muscles stronger so I can try and control these harder reeds to get them to vibrate. I'm finding I resort to biting these harder reeds to try and get them to sound, which isn't a habit I want to develop!
