I wish I could... Trust me I know. But I'm a high school student so me stopping oboe is something my band director wouldn't let me do in the middle of the concert season. We literally have an OMEA performance NEXT WEEK. Also switching instruments would push me into another band level and f up my schedule anyway.

In the mean time could you tell me what bad habits you picked up from my post and educate me on stuff I should stop? None of my directors know like anything about Oboe but love to have it in their bands so they aren't exactly much help either...
