Ok facebook friends….I have a dilemma. [name here] started playing the oboein September of this year, but she HATES it… We had an agreement that she would play through junior high. I am wondering if I should just forget about our agreement and let her quit or if I should keep pushing her to stick with it? Any advice or thoughts??
Had to deliver some left behind homework to the boy at school this morning, and on the way out, walked past the grade school orchestra perfecting the slow part of “stairway to Heaven,” complete with oboe. Should be a fun concert this year…
So it comes down to this decision: Bach double for two violins or the Bach oboe and violin concerto? How does one choose between these?
So many difficult decisions in life!
…that awkward moment when your tuner doesn’t turn on in orchestra and everyone is looking at you, waiting for a pitch, but all they get is a flustered and red face from you, meanwhile you are convinced the end of the world has come because your tuner needs batteries and the second oboe player doesn’t feel the need to own a tuner, but then you realize you just didn’t push the “power” button long enough and it comes right on.
Just came super close to smashing my oboe into hundreds of little pieces.
get to (have to) make some oboe reeds tonight…we’ll see how this goes! thank goodness i have some already partially started from several years ago, otherwise i might be in trouble! ;-) wish me luck!!!
Listening to Le Tombeau De Couperin on oboe is probably the best thing I’ve done all week! Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still recovering, car was in the shop, had to take public transportation today…ewee. Woman next to me smelled like corn, kept hitting me in the head with her oboe.
I remember once, when I started writing for the alto saxophone, a saxophonist told me to think of it as being like a cross between an oboe and a viola, but louder……
[name here] just discovered he doesn’t know his oboe from his bassoon. Sigh.
Got an oboe and a violin for Christmas. Let the practicing begin…oh, and I guess I should give my sweet hubby some ear plugs. lol
Everytime I hear an oboe or a trumpet, i’ll always smile. :)
I want to play oboe now….my baby is calling to me….stupid wisdom teeth….
Just played some more oboe notes. Boy, I’ve got to do this more often. It won’t get any better if I don’t. ;-)
Wanna Learn Oboe In January(:<3
