 Re: Oboe versus clarinet as a personal instrument for home use

In my opinion, this dilemma is why renting an instrument works so well for beginners. I started on clarinet in 5th grade and switched to oboe in 9th grade and never looked back. Like Mike, I didn't major in music. I had gaps in my playing of up to 15 years. Now I'm really enjoying it. I play with several community groups that are desperate for oboes. I get to play second oboe with really good groups and even first oboe with smaller groups. I have to stretch to keep up, but it's good for me. I'm enjoying the oboe now much more than I did as a student. I'd let your daughter try whatever she feels attracted to. If it doesn't work out, she can switch. The best instrument for her to enjoy as an adult is the one that touches her heart!
