Wow. So many people with so much experience that have helped me so much with this decision. Thank you greatly everyone here.

Mike, Great story. I casually discussed this with my daughter yesterday and posed the question again to be sure. Again she expressed more excitement over the oboe than the clarinet. and so I feel that would be a better match for her. So I think we will try the oboe. Love your story! Thanks for sharing it with us! There is lots of encouragement for us in your story. Thanks! You're a great help!

And Linda, thats another fine story your write. Thanks to you too. Its encouraging to see how music can be an important part of your life and how other people have been able to fit music into their life. Thanks!

Susan thats a beautiful oboe story. Thank you. Thats the encouragement I need. I will share all these stories with my daughter. She is the type who likes to stand out. She's our middle child and loves to perform and thats why a year ago we thought it would a good match for her personality. But the main think is that she likes it too and never seemed to be as excited with the clarinet - althought she did like the clarinet a little too. But the oboe seems to light up her eyes more - seems to be more her character. We'll give it a try again this year. Thanks for this. These are all such great stories.

Thanks jhoyla! Good point about the oboe being in a brighter spotlight. Seems to suit her personality better. Well said.

hautbois francais. Thank you for your insite and sharing this. This is more advice that I could have ever thought of - I suppose music is more integral to life than just the musical elements alone - builds character and strengthens children in character. Its nice to have these kinds of words of wisdom to guide me these choices. Kindly appreciated.

plclemo. Thank you too.I thought so too. I love the sound of the oboe. When I am at any orchestra performances my ears always focus on the oboe in terms of its beautiful and unique sound. And I never chose the instrument for my daughter - I only let her listen to many instruments on my computer and she also likes the oboe and so we'll give it a try. Thanks again!
