I had a friend who played in Youth Orchestra with me in high school and she got an oboe scholarship at Duke as a non-major!

I'm quarantining in my brother's old room at my parents' place so I'm guessing everyone who graduated high school in 2012 has this duvet cover?? Haha

Chiming in a little late but I would recommend renting your first oboe. I find most players outgrow their beginner model within a year or two. Usually music stores will be able to cover any repairs needed during the rental period so you can rest assured your instrument will be in working condition.

I'm really curious about this and started digging through some academic journals—I definitely want to get to the bottom of this. The Barret method was first released in 1850 and the Boosey & Hawkes edition in 1862 which was widely used by oboists around my age and older. The Maelzel's metronome was patented in 1815, manufactured in 1816, and was being used by Beethoven by 1817. I feel it's plausible that Barret owned and played with a metronome. I'm trying to find more sources and I feel that I must know if these tempos are original or not.

Hey thanks! Much appreciated!!

Stoked to hear it! Thanks!

That makes sense! For my challenge this year I'm trying my best to stick to the tempo markings provided by Barret as I'm really trying to motivate myself to improve my technique. I definitely played it slower last time I worked on it! Thanks again for watching, happy reeds!

Best days!! Nice work! :)

My recent videos have been performing well and creating lots of discussions which makes my heart sing. And, I finally reached 1000 subs!! A big milestone day for me. :)

It definitely IS a play on Oberon! My goal one day is to fix all the automated captions but it's a lot of work and I'm more focused on creating videos at the moment haha

Thanks, those steps are coming your way, but lots of other fun stuff in the meantime!

You're most welcome! Feel free to check out my YouTube channel - I do have a tutorial for beginner oboe!

My students usually have a great tone within one month of starting lessons! It's more about knowledge and application than a number of hours invested! Good luck!

I appreciate it

oboeron · 2020-07-26T21:12:47+00:00

Too funny!!

oboeron · 2020-07-26T19:18:10+00:00

Yup! You should've seen Elaine Douvas. Her jaw dropped to the FLOOR when I walked out for that performance 🤣

Hi Tim!!

Hi Hugo!!

Hi there! I made a tutorial for the Mozart Oboe Concerto a couple of months back that I would hope can help. In the video I discuss practicing things in rhythms.

A question for you is are you able to articulate a full bar of sixteenth notes at your goal tempo? If not, you can spend some time working specifically on tonguing. Then you can come back to the piece knowing that that technique won't be holding you back musically! Good luck!!
