Breathing Fundamentals for Oboe with Steenstrup, Mozart Oboe Quartet

[@Android_Warrior]

That's good, the only problem is the reed hole is so small!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@aliciagarciagonzalez1387]

como se llama ese aparato de soplar?

[@Ayearetee]

how does one do this and not get light headed?

[@playwithapro]

A matter of distributing the air correctly, and stopping when you get light headed... :)

[@ildefonsocamargo8291]

honestly,practice. It takes time. After a long hiatus, getting back to oboe caused me to get light-headed for a while... practice fixed it.

[@oboistkim]

Where can I buy that?

[@homeofcreation]

I play Oboe and think this is just silly. Your breath management depends (besides on the reed) on the notation, dynamics and tempo of a piece. You just mark, where to breathe in, where to breathe out and where to circular breathe, during practice.

It's "an ill-winded instrument nobody blows good."

[@brynjarhoff-lr6hw]

If you need this kind of lesson…i think it is a wrong way of playing.

[@mauriwayar]

Honestly, it looks very weird. I'm not sure how useful this machines might be... Doesn't make more sense to train breathing and blowing while you have the real feeling of a good reed and the real air resistance of the real instrument? Doesn't it even depend on the piece you're playing? I haven't tried that (besides, I'm a bassoonist) but I'm very skeptical...

[@nomorebushz]

I suggest studying what Ledet has to convey in his book Oboe Reed Styles, about proper oboe breathing and the air pressure graphics displays showing proper air pressure from the abdominal muscles to the embouchure. Important not to fight against yourself by a closed throat and tight chest muscles, which if course is wrong. I'm self taught and wish I had taken professional lessons, but I got by nonetheless, as dad was a Yale music School 3 year graduate as Paul Hindemith's assistant. I was dads page turner from 8 years old starting oboe at 10. Our piano was a 8'11 3/4" 1965 Steinway Concert D. Dad played what I couldn't and I played what dad couldn't. I'm still principal oboe in Paradise Symphony. I started in 1965. First professional job after auditioning was USAF Academy Band in 1974 at 19 years old. Start young and practice 1 to 2 hours every day! And make your own damn reeds! A lot of them. It's the performance reed that sings that compels us to continue this art form. Sight read every day!
