It's never too late to start. As long as you have ambition, you can learn how to play.

Just a warning though, oboe is probably one of the hardest instruments to play. It takes a lot of air and has a very complicated key system because of how old the instrument is.

The way I started was renting an oboe from my local music store, as well as an oboe book. I started going through the exercises and memorizing the fingerings.

I'm on my third year of playing and I'm first chair in my school's wind ensemble now in my last year of school.
