 Re: Going from trumpet to oboe?

If you really want to play the oboe, go for it! I played the tuba and oboe in college with no real problems because the embouchure was so loose, but I would guess you will need to choose between oboe and trumpet if you get serious -- but sounds like you are motivated to learn the oboe quickly!

If you can find a teacher, even if you can only have one or two lessons that would be great; they can help you find an instrument and get a few reeds going. Check with the school district about instruments, they may have one you can use. Usually band directors are thrilled to have an oboist in their program.

Good luck - Keep us posted on your progress!
