Amen, JudyP.

There is no substitute for keeping at it. I have been playing oboe for ten years & am now just feeling comfortable with scales & music in 4, 5 & 6 flats. It's the daily grind & discipline of playing scales that makes it happen. Christopher Weaitt's great scale book is invaluable for this, as is Sellner; about 45 minutes a day seems about right for me. The major scales (full register) tonic up & down chromatically ending with the chromatic scale, then on to Christopher, then the Sellner arpeggios. Doing this makes the Tchaik 4th adagio oboe solo or the Dvorak Largo set of solo oboe sextuplets pieces of cake, at least as far as notes go. Once the notes are in place, the music follows; but the entré to all this is scale work ad infinitum.

Nailing the Dvorak spot on & the Respighi finale (EH solo) in Pini di Roma were the thrills of my ensemble playing in concert thus far. When the principle cello says "Good Work!" the effort makes it all worthwhile.

Happy & Prosperous New Year to all,

Best,

john
