suggestion for reeds:
I'm with many others here: the beginners' reeds sold in most music stores are pretty poor; NEVER get a 'soft' -- they are usually flat.
For the same price, students can get 'decent' reeds from a number of sites, the bigger stores being Charles, Forrests, Mark Chudnow, Colorado Reed Company, American Oboe Reed, lots of others. Try to find a specialty reed-maker and if your student does well, stick with that maker.
I always recommend students listen to good professionals' recordings (Harold Gomberg, John Mack, Albrecht Meyer, Heinz Holliger, many others...) to get a 'certain sound' model in their heads.
Happy teaching!
