Actually,it was me who thought I was bad,not the teacher.Yes,everybody else did get tested,but they werent beginners(besides the french horn and the baritones,but they've been playing with the band the whole time).Luckily,I caught up to their speed(sort of) in about 3 weeks(and they've been playing for three months!)Something that makes me proud is that accomplishment.By the way,they were testing us just to see if we practiced everyday,since if we sound bad,it's obvious we didnt.
"And, yeah. Less pressure on the reed. It's your air, not your lips, that need to do the heavy lifting."
Oh yeah,I forgot that that having slower air is how you blow on lower notes.Thanks for reminding me.
Yeah,you guys are right,I shouldn't anticapate a note,I should just play it.
Thanks,A_person13.
Just something weird I found on my LaVoz reed.It crows really weak,but it plays quite loudly on my oboe.And if I sound too much like a kid the whole time throughout the post,Im a middle school 7th grader,and maybe the only student in the two of our middle schools who play the oboe.
