 Need some help with vibrato!
Author: booface13

I've been playing oboe for four years, and I think I can say that I can sustain long tones with proper support. But when I try adding vibrato, after two seconds it just gets uneven and out of control. I don't know if I just need to practice more or if I'm doing something wrong? I know I'm not moving my jaw at all, the vibrato is coming from my throat. I just can't control it. :/

On another note, I'm having trouble switching from high C (above the staff) to any of the higher notes. I can play high D - F just fine but not when I switch from C, or any of the lower notes for that matter. When I try, it sometimes makes a weird, leaky sound.

Any help would be appreciated; thanks!
