While you may be able to learn other instruments by yourself, it is essential that the oboe beginner study with a serious oboe player/teacher. Their advice on reeds will be needed as you could spend many years trying to understand reeds. You will also need to have good reeds before you attempt to play with others, as there is no place to hide.

Reeds are a key part of oboe playing, despite what Heinz Holliger said. While the fingerings are complex with a lot of cross fingerings, they are not the main problem. In general, the oboe parts in a band are less technical than the flute or clarinet parts.

I also started fairly late, but after decades of playing with some success, I still find that reeds are a challenge. Good luck!
