Vibrato! How and Why (Technique Tuesday)

[@jacquelinedamian2423]

I've been inspired to play oboe from an anime called "Liz and the bluebird" it was so emotional and the oboist is so confident and played it with expression. Plus the song that the band played were real students playing it. Instead of using audio

[@OboeFiles]

How has your oboe journey been?

[@lanekarabani8084]

Hey! My school is using your videos to practice during this pandemic! Thanks for your help, its very well thought out and descriptive. Anyone following your word will definitely find improvement and success!

[@OboeFiles]

Wonderful! I hope they help!

[@frankgerace5997]

I played oboe in woodwinds class in college, and in a group in college called beginning ensemble. I was a trumpet major, and I never got beyond playing with a straight tone on oboe, but it’s an interesting instrument to play!!

[@booktionary--4276]

What’s the difference between a relaxed and tense vibrato? Like how do I tell when I get it right?

[@OboeFiles]

It should sound vocal and free - record yourself and compare to recordings of players you like 😊when in doubt play beautifully

[@mermaidunicorn476]

What good timing! I’m learning it currently

[@Car_men24]

[@OboeFiles]

[@lightningcreates1271]

My teacher refuses to teach me vibrato and I don't know why

[@kaibacker2407]

Same, and it's so annoying

[@frankwert1175]

Imagine your teacher being able to play oboe

[@davidwollpert5276]

Your vibrato sounds great! I just saw a video of another oboe teacher trying to teach vibrato and it sounded horrible. My daughter played oboe all through school, and I just love the instrument.

Hi! This was a very helpful video and I’ve been looking at your reedmaking videos in particular and was wondering if you could do a few more videos on the subject, as you mentioned maybe doing videos on knife sharpening and the anatomy. Thanks a ton dude, thanks for being such an amazing resource!

[@myabalboa2740]

Mynameisnotbruce yes! i was wondering the same thing, i’ve been playing oboe for three years now and i’d like to learn how to start making reeds :)

[@OboeFiles]

[@Angelic222_]

I’d like to point out I learnt vibrato by blowing on it and the reducing the air and then like doing that and with a good month of work and many crying sessions I got it

[@OboeFiles]

Sounds about right lol learning it is a trail for sure!

[@patrickyukisugahara7931]

thanks for the video!! I loved you exercise :)

[@OboeFiles]

Thanks! Hope it helps!

[@tifennfourrier1783]

I can do the whistling vibrato with a'd without the Reed, but when I try it with the oboe we can't hear the vibrato. Can you help me please?

[@OboeFiles]

It might take a few weeks to build the muscle groups up, you may try on a lighter reed as well. Be patient, keep reviewing the exercises and be true to your musical vision :) good luck!
