 I cant do this!!
Author: Sammiejoe

I have been playing the oboe for 4 years now. But it still sounds bad when i play the high notes. I mean i tune and everything and i dont change my position or anything. The low notes and the middle notes play just fine but its just the high notes. Is it my reed or is something wrong with my oboe?!?!

Signed, Stuck

Alternatively there is the possibilty it's your breath support, but after four years I don't really think it's that. What model / make oboe do you have by the way?

First of all, there is an ' in between n & t in can't.

Try eating a grapefruit before you practice. It makes your lips pucker, and is a good way to get better tone quality for higher notes.
