Hey everyone. ^_^ I'm a 4th year clarinet, 8th year piano.. and about 7 months of an oboe player in the lower band at my high school. There's only one oboe in concert band, thank god, so all I have to do is beat back the saxophones' pitch, and we're good. Needless to say, I'm not wonderful at oboe, but I'm proficient, and that's what my director needed.
However, I'm having problem with vibrato; on flute, it's used with the breath, but on oboe, breath vibrato seems to change the pitch, lip vibrato REALLY changes the pitch... any suggestions? We're playing Pavane #50 by Faure, and Chant and Jubilo by ..uh.. Alfred Reed, I think. Both require some good vibrato and tone; tone is not a problem right now, vibrato is.
