 Re: Reed question

I'm doing crows to strengthen my embouchure and to acquire a feel
for the reed on my lip. I play my DVD everyday, the same thing, to see how the reed is placed on the lower lip and the upper lip is brought down on top of it, using the tip of my tongue for a "too" motion for crisp notes. Then I do the same thing with the reed in my oboe while trying to accustom myself to the feel of the oboe and it's weight on my right thumb nail (which hurts like crazy).

All in all, I still have to find my C note by positioning the oboe up or down because the C isn't a true note until I find that correct angle. Eventually, I expect it will come automatically. When my C note matches the one being played on the DVD, I know I've got it. Has anyone else tried to locate the true C note by adjusting the position of the oboe?

I still don't understand the difference between crowing the reed and playing the reed.

Judy
