 Well, I would say the easiest fingeing chart to understand would be the Melbank oboe fingering chart.  That is the most comprehensive.  But for the most part with the exception of B flat,C, F, and F sharp, the fingerings are the same as the upper register of the clarinet.  The notes are the same when you switch octaves.  F sharp is the F fingering on Clarinet, B flat, is finger A on a clarinet, and hit the f sharp key(the f key on a clarinet), C is you finger B, and hit the F sharp key and when you are playing Middle D which is the same as Middle D on a Clarinet, be sure to move your finger down so that the hole is un covered.  Do that when playing middle C# D and E flat.  But the fignerings are by far not the hardest thing about oboe.  It is not getting your brains scrambled when you play.  I am also a high school student.  If you ahve any questions please e-mail me

 If your just learning to play the oboe, i wish you luck.  I played because I was getting tired of the flute and it was really hard.  I really started to appriciate how well I could play the flute and now I'm back to it.  Even though I didn't learn to play the oboe in the end it really helped me!!  Good Luck!!
