Love your posts, vboboe!

Now a year into it, I am disciplining myself to do an hour's worth of scales and arpeggios each day, and it is paying off. I had one of those miraculous "break through" experiences yesterday: after a couple solid weeks of scales, went back to a repertoire book that had always seemed out of reach, and, mercy me, the stuff just flowed out of my horn.

However, you can take Ab major and sh . . . uh, um, ah, *learn* it.
Wow, do I hate that key on the oboe. [mad]

But -- I am now being able to grab the alternate Eb fingering from below, which is real progress. And I'm keeping my fingers relaxed, which in itself has a very salubrious effect on my tone production. I don't quite understand why that should be, but it is.

My favorite keys are E minor and D minor. They just lay so well on the oboe, and are so much fun to play.

Susan
