We've all been there. And remember, you're not alone! The first thing to do is ask for help - don't be afraid to do this. I know you're probably at a point where you probably can't just put the oboe away for a while, so the best thing to do is not stop, but find someone who can help you through.
-Find a professional oboist. Talk to them, get their advice! (That's what they're for!)
- If you bought a Landwell knife, try contacting Daryl Caswell (who owns landwell) on the phone. He should have some good tips. (I don't have his number right now, unfortunately. Check University of Calgary directory maybe...? )
-Go for a walk. (Swear while you're doing it if you have to... :P)
Most important....you didn't start playing the oboe because you liked sharpening knives for hours a day, and breaking useless reeds. Most likely, you liked the sound...and you loved, and still do love the music. The music!! That's why you're here. Don't forget that!!
