Hello i'm new to the Bboards, but i have been lurking around for awhile.
My life story is i play the bari sax in my high school band, i'm 15.
Since the day they allowed me to pick an instrument, 6th grade, my first pick was oboe, but my band derectors said no becouse there was not an intsructor avalable. And now we need an oboe player... so here i am today.
Thanks for this forum it has been most helpful.........
so here go's my contribution to questions.
My corruant two instructors have to opions on emboucure production.
1 says to need a relaxed eboucure with firm, and not tight corners,
the other says collect lips in center, like wisthenling, and have tight corners
What to do... I personally use the first opinion becouse the second makes me more tired..... the tireredness is i think form not using it as much becouse the first i've used for about a year, so i think it is mature
I have a nice tone from what i hear. i practice on long tones and slow peices very much.
I wake up go to School, then Band Practice, then Practice my Oboe, then Sleep..... The wake up and do it again.
