i got a one on my oboe solo!!! that is the best grade u can get!!!
I love reading these happy Facebook posts!
(Very likely this is the last FBQD. :-(
Listening to myself play oboe… haven’t heard that in a long time.
I’m in a rock band with a 94 year old Oboe Player!!!
I hate when people call an oboe a flute… It obviously isn’t a flute it doesn’t sound like a pretty bird… It’s sounds like a sexy duck. I think my family is just use to me playing the flute. Watch, when I play flute again they are prolly going to call it an oboe–_–
There really needs to be a boy band of oboe players called “The Hautbois”.
Oboe reeds. Ugh. Mahler! Yay!
Next goal: learn how to play the oboe. Anyone have an extra oboe lying around the house you’d be willing to lend me for a few months?
so im pretty sure my oboe reed is broken. >.< this sucks soo bad because high school UIL is thursday and i dont have any more reeds
An absolute requirement: my students must have at least three working reeds. More is better.
Four-mallet technique has officially surpassed oboe on the “painful to learn” scale of musical instruments….
[name here] got an awesome present from her Grandma Jean this evening. She wanted to play the oboe in band, but we could not afford one so she ended up playing clarinet. My mom and dad brought over a beautiful oboe from Music Go Round for her and it sounds amazing. One evening of practicing with it and she was playing sustained notes in scales to the beat of her new metrinome. What a fantastic gift for a very talented girlie :)
How sweet!
Thanks Sibelius for always making me doubt myself. I really do know the range of an oboe, so please don’t tell me I’m wrong. Stupid computers.
(For those of you who aren’t familiar with the it, Sibelius is music notation software. The writer isn’t referring to the composer.)
WHAT I LEARNED AT THE SYMPHONY:
Most women there wear a dress or skirt
Most men there are at least fifty and have the same ring of hair cuz they’re balding
I can’t remember which is the oboe and which is the basoon
Suzophones just remind Mike Kelly’s GF Vanessa Marcano of that video on youtube of the Suzophone and the saxophone talking on the telephone
Clarinets make me sleepy
Operas tell a story but I don’t speak what ever language they are written in
The conductor introduced himself as John Bon Jovi
Intermission does not rhyme with interrogation or indeterminate
Bright cellphone screens are remarkably distracting in a dimly lit concert hall
This sounds like a cross between an Incredible String Band instrumental and “A Love Supreme”… so basically, the best thing ever. Thank you, obscure late-60s psychedelic folk collective, for bringing some much needed justice to the oboe, the dorkiest of woodwinds www.youtube.com Third Ear Band – Stone Circle [Alchemy] 1969
Wanting to hear what the Facebook person is writing about? Here you go:
I can’t tell if it was a compliment when people came up to me after church today and said, “At my funeral, I want you to play the oboe” Is it because they won’t be able to hear me? paranoia will destroy ya’ ….
Some days I don’t hate the oboe. Today is not one of those days.
