 Re: difference between clarinet and oboe

You have to give the oboe a try yourself. You'll know in a short while whether you like it or not. Some take to it immediately, some hate it immediately, and for some it takes a little growing into.

One thing to consider is that if you are in grade school, taking up the oboe where there are no oboists can put you in a rather bad situation if your band director wants you to play the oboe and you make up your mind that you don't like it.

I hardly remember learning the oboe, but I remember when I told my high school band director that I wanted to quit the oboe and the unexpected anger. It was really scary... I played oboe till the end. lol.

I was playing Wagnerian works with 3 months of oboe from flute... OI! I still have copies of the music where I crossed out sixteenth note passages I just couldn't play. lol... and it's all so easy when you look back.

Regards,
Stephen
