One of the sad things about playing the oboe is that we just look weird when we play! I really try to never have my picture taken WHILE playing, sometimes in performing groups they want closeups of individuals playing their instruments. NOT a good look. But if you have glorious sound people will look past your squinched up face!

Seriously though, oboists more than most instruments benefit from at least a few private lessons, particularly getting started. A teacher can help you specifically (where a book or video only goes over general problems). Most people live near enough to a local type symphony that they could make the drive once a month or so - my mom drove me 60 miles (one way!) every week for lessons. I'm grateful now, but it is hard to believe so many parents (of my prospective students) don't want to drive 10 miles out of their way. Good luck!
