 Re: When to begin oboe?

Mary,

I think Jr HS is the earliest point I'd suggest to take up oboe. And the parents need to play a role, commit to funding a decent instrument and good reeds and a specialist teacher at the least.

A pro player is better but not nec. the ideal teacher. That is a different skill.

Usually the band will have a decent student oboe at least. That helps.

Good reeds are more available than in my youth but not inexpensive, and teachers are what they are...

Prolly teachers are the weak link in the chain.

-Craig
