 Re: Clarinetist has question for Oboe player!

I know you've gotten a lot good advice as a result of your query, Elkwoman46. I would add one other if no one else has mentioned it: Get a good teacher. It makes a world of difference.

I've been hacking around on the oboe since I was in high school. I'm now 58. I did take lessons for while during my college years and learned a lot, but the teacher was a serious pro playing in the City Center Ballet orchestra in New York. In retrospect, I think he may have felt I was far more advanced than I was. Those lesson lasted about 2 years, and for years I learned what little I learned on my own.

I began lessons again about 4 years ago, and for the first time have addressed some of the deficiencies of being largely "self-taught." Sometimes the lessons are hard at this age -- maybe at any age -- but I have found real progress in my playing and enjoy the oboe more than ever.

Good luck to you.

Walter
