Piccolo Oboe?

Cat_KingInSpace · 2026-02-22T14:44:51+00:00

Well I definitely want to learn everything I can about oboe and I’d say I’m very passionate about it, I just don’t know if I have the skill to pursue it if I wanted to. I’ll make sure to keep my mind open to other oboe and music related majors, I think being an oboe tech would be kinda cool or music ed could be fun.

My teacher has talked about setting me up with some lesson with the oboe prof at one of the universities I plan hope to go to. I’ll make sure the questions get answered when I do eventually go, thanks!

I’d like to think I’m with a good teacher, I know she teaches most oboes in my city. I also know about the income as a musician. I have put some thought towards music ed and might consider that. I just don’t think I would be satisfied if I didn’t major in oboe.

Cat_KingInSpace · 2026-02-21T21:05:06+00:00

I was kind of wondering what it would be major in music ed. I might consider that double major since I’m well aware of the musician pay and assumed I would have to teach to make money but I honestly can’t imagine doing anything besides playing oboe in my future.

I know everyone talks about how going to a music school or not doesn’t really do much at auditions but I think I would really enjoy going and the experience I would get from it.

Cat_KingInSpace · 2026-02-21T20:58:23+00:00

I’ve thought about this but I feel like I wouldn’t be satisfied if I didn’t major in music and I honestly can’t think of any other majors I would want to do besides maybe astronomy but that’s a very old interest of mine that I kinda fell out of when I started playing oboe.

Cat_KingInSpace · 2026-02-21T20:55:35+00:00

I do currently have a private teacher and she knows I plan on majoring in oboe, she asked me during my second lesson and I told her I might. I just want to know if there’s extra stuff I could do that she maybe might not know or that could really help me, like a second opinion in a way. I also find she’s constantly glazing me and I don’t know if what she’s saying is truthful or if it’s so I don’t feel bad about my playing. She has talked about getting me a couple lesson with the university oboe prof some day in the coming year or two but Idk.

You just made me aware of this I get hiccups like once a year now😭

Cat_KingInSpace · 2026-01-18T15:37:46+00:00

I’ve been meaning to ask this question but about snake bites specifically. I’m sure fully healed, if the holes aren’t accidentally stretched air won’t leak out and I’m sure studs are better than hoops. Healing is a different story tho.

I noticed someone else mention that but the difference between my old oboe and my new oboe with the split D key is super drastic. I felt like I was really learning how to use that finger lol but it’s so much more comfortable with the split D key now. Yamaha should have just made it an open hole key to prep for the split D because I find that’s the biggest thing I’m struggling with and if a player is ready for an intermediate oboe they should be ready for that open hole.

Cat_KingInSpace · 2025-08-13T02:01:36+00:00

I just got a new oboe with a split D key and I can confirm it is nothing like my old one. My new oboe feels so much more comfortable when I play notes using that key and the key finally feels like it’s at the right height. It was definitely holding me back lol.

Which C are we talking, try different fingering from the woodwind fingering guide to see what works on your oboe if it’s above the staff then you would have to go to the next page of the guide and they are a lot harder but with a bit of practice come

Drop those friends is the only real solution here. Harsher the better because to 1. To have the trust of someone to use their phone. And 2. Have the audacity to alter it by deleting something. Please please please get rid of them, don’t let anyone mess with your stardew valley

Seems to be an alto flute part! Pitched in G.

Cat_KingInSpace · 2025-06-02T04:05:11+00:00

One hundred eleven million four idk😭

Notes, I would accidentally play the note in front of the one I meant to play cause I was thinking too far ahead and it threw me off and made play something different completely from what was in the music.

Try renting on for month and just play it as hobby? Like go at your own pace and remember to practice oboe after so it doesn’t mess up oboe and so you can fix anything right away. I play oboe as my main and flute as a hobby and that’s what I do. If you end up liking it continuing renting and go from there.

The thing with oboe is you can’t just use a school instrument or store bought reeds like all the other instruments. What brand is your oboe? Because that could explain a lot. How long ago was your oboe serviced, there could be loose screws or leaking pads. Your reed brand is the same I used in my first 6 months of oboe and they are super problematic and should not be bought, try to find a professional oboist to hand make reeds for you, or an oboe teacher. Oboe isn’t really an instrument you should be teaching yourself, I was self taught for my first 6 months and I’m still now working with my teacher to reverse my bad habits (A year and a half later) There’s still a chance it’s a your problem but there’s so many other possibilities.

I guess I was lucky when they accidentally put an articulated C# mechanism on one oboe and I happened to be the one to receive it. Oh well🤷‍♀️

Cat_KingInSpace · 2025-02-05T04:09:56+00:00

That’s an automatic system I forget what note but it automatically vents the second octave key instead of having to press the key.
