Hey guys, I haven't been on here for a while. I'm in 8th grade (13 years old) and I've been playing oboe in my school band since 6th grade. A problem that's always been around me for all these years is getting low notes out. Sometimes it would give a little tremolo but the most prevalent problem is squeaking before the note actually comes out. It's not really squeaking but I don't know how I would describe it. For example if I was trying to play low F, I would hear a high F first before the low actually comes out. I'm using handmade reeds from reedmaker.com and they have done very well for me. My band directors sees a lot of potential in me and even requested the school for a new oboe over the summer and they actually got me one, a new Yamaha 441A which is a huge improvement over the 25 year old Selmer I had. I just need some tips on getting the low notes out. Make a frowny face worked for a while, but it doesn't seem to work anymore. I can get low notes out if I slur but can't if I tongue. Even when I'm really warmed up, it still happens.
