Re: Playing on the Tip/Reed Style

Author: d-oboe  Date:   2006-04-14 14:39 -Adjusting for every note- Every note has its tendencies, and yes they have to be corrected...BUT what most often happens is that players get into habits of correcting unnecessarily. For example, the center C. I hear soooooooo many recordings, where you KNOW that the player is covering that C, or compensating here and there. The minor corrections to individual notes should NOT NOT NOT be audible. In a simple phrase, each note should have the same color. Not a covered one, a bright one, a shy one.... -Reed in and out- I move automatically too -lips only playing - Well it's pretty much what it sounds like. It takes a good while to learn how to do this - that part of the mouth has pretty much no muscle mass in it. (I've been working this lips-only thing for a while now, and wow those "lip biceps" are getting big!!) The main advantages are -that it completely dispenses with the jaw, and the teeth - the those two inflexible killers of oboe tone. -It makes tonguing (sp?) much easier too because the tongue is in a more relaxed position where it meets the reed. -It also dispenses with having to hold the jaw really open - the lips-only method is so flexible a big opening between the teeth is largely unnecessary. Other styles of playing....(Eastern european :S..shhh I didn't say that) tend to pull the reed in quite far - the contact point of reed-tip and lips is at, or beyond the teeth. I've never been taught in that style, so I can't really comment, but from what I hear, the tone is less flexible, but it is more dynamic. So many choices! D
