I truly appreciate the way you break things down and then offer ideas for practice. I have watched three of your videos and learned a considerable amount, and have watched each multiple times. Excellent teaching skills

Im actually following your videos it helps a lot for me and leaving comment here. Im using Loree royal 1992 made. Do you think is it worth to change to Marigaux 901 from Loree? Is there big change? Marigaux or Howarth had alot darker and warm tone which i want. It is hard to make good tone like you have

@IanWisekal 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for following! I agree that Howarth and Marigaux have a "warmer" sound compared with Lorées, but Lorée has made some wonderful instruments, and I have students who sound beautiful on new and used Royals. If you've been playing for less than 5 years, I would experiment more with reeds, embouchure, and reed placement (not too far in the mouth!) before buying a new oboe. That early 90s era of Lorée does tend to amplify more of the higher overtones, so we have to be pickier about our reeds especially, but it should be possible to adjust those elements to make it sing. Once you have your fundamentals really solid - that could be now or in a couple of years - then it might be time to start oboe shopping. :)

Hello professor Ian. Now im practicing Geklers basic oboe. Is it too hard to learn Ferling after this book?

@IanWisekal 2 ай бұрын

Great question! Are you in Gekeler book 1 or book 2? (Book 2 starts with the Barret melodies.) I make sure students are comfortable playing those melodies - as well as all the scales and arpeggios in the back of Gekeler 2 - before moving on to the Ferlings.

What syllables do you recommend using to help students move their tongue in the right way? Tu? Tee? Tah?

@IanWisekal 4 ай бұрын

Great question! I usually approach voicing (the "vowel shape" in the mouth) as a separate issue, but I would say "tee" or "tu" is best, since that will set students up to have a focused airstream.

@IanWisekal Any reed recommendations for a 4th/5th grade beginner? Strength, type, company? I took 2 oboe classes in college as a music ed major, but that was about 11 years ago... My district got its first set of oboes this year for students.

@IanWisekal 4 ай бұрын

@@musicman1eanda That's exciting about the new instruments! I recommend trying out some of the options from the Bocal Majority Store; they're all handmade reeds, and I've had beginners do quite well with them. Once you find the "type" that seems to work best, stick with that maker. Best of luck this year!

Ahhh this is the except i have to prepare for my states honor band audition! My tutor recommends I don’t prepare the piece at this tempo, but aside from tempo do you have any tips for practicing/preparing this excerpt?

@IanWisekal 6 ай бұрын

I'm sure your teacher is a great resource, too, but my #1 suggestion for anything with a lot of fast, even notes: practice unevenly! Pick a nice, slow tempo with your metronome, take a chunk (maybe one measure) and play it really exaggeratedly in "LONG-short" pairs. Then flip them around so that they're "short-LONG." Then repeat the process with another chunk, and then link them together, etc. Once that feels comfortable, going back to playing evenly will feel relatively easy!

Lots of these Ferling slow etudes are lovely, but I'm also partial to the B minor etude by Dont in the Voxman Selected Studies book. (It's originally for flute, and lots of those etudes are beautiful on oboe, as well!)

@TheresaDeSoto 10 ай бұрын

This etude reminds me of Schubert's Die Schone Mullerin, so my lyrics are kind of like what the romantic young miller might be singing: My heart is like a flower, that opens in the sunlight. The morning, the dew drops are lifted with your gentle gaze. I have to play this in class tomorrow - hoping my instructor doesn't make me sing!
