 Re: Recommendation for reed making workshop

I live in the woods in the Mat-Su Valley. The nearest oboe teacher is 45 minutes away, depending on road conditions. At one point I thought going to Fairbanks for their fine arts festival might be fun. It was too expensive and too far. I felt the same way being mid 30's going to a workshop.

I learned reed making from a book. My reeds aren't the best they made me through a couple concerts in a row. Get a book as recommended above. I learned from the Jay Light book but the Shalita book is probably better. My oboe teacher and another oboist friend were more than happy to evaluate my reeds once they were playable. Best of luck to you what ever you choose to do.
