 Re: Clarinetist has question for Oboe player!

Well, by "hard to play" I didn't mean, "difficult to play, per se".

I meant "difficult and time-consuming to learn", especially for children. A ten-year-old doesn't usually have the sense of perspective, and the patience, to understand, "I will need to spend both fifth and sixth grade in Band before my oboe will begin to sound decent, so it will be seventh grade before I will really start playing tunes that sound like tunes." A ten-year-old wants to sound good right away, and clarinets and flutes can deliver that. My daughter started clarinet in fifth grade along with most of her "posse", and they were all tootling away happily on "The Peanut Song" by the spring concert. If there had been an oboist in her class, she would still have been toiling away at "not sounding like a dying duck".
