- Join me on my exciting journey as a beginner learning the oboe, a captivating woodwind instrument that has been a staple in orchestras for centuries. In this video, I share my experiences and challenges during my first week learning the oboe. Whether you're a music enthusiast or fellow beginner oboist, come along as I tackle this notoriously difficult woodwind instrument!

I would disagree about oboe being the most difficult woodwind, as someone who plays all of them, Bassoon is significantly more challenging. Oboe is still incredibly difficult but bassoon is so incredibly complex. I wish you luck on your oboe journey and I suggest you slightly lower the angle of your oboe! You're doing great for a beginner!
I'd disagree, once I had a good bassoon, all my issues disappeared and the embouchure was extremely forgiving in comparison, except technique finger wise, but that takes time like any other instrument
But for oboe I'm always fighting against my reed 24/7 even when it's a good one there's usually some fault I have to compensate after a bit, the fingerings make a bit more sense in comparison but the fact that even a good reed can be unforgiving sometimes makes the instrument a much more difficult case than Bassoon imo
Thank you! I think I’ve been watching too many European oboists! 😅
Good luck with Learning the oboe. I play clarinet with a little bit of experience with other woodwinds. I relate to struggling with low notes because I learnt the saxophone recently and I found the low notes quite awkward. It really made me appreciate how well the low notes respond on clarinet.
Gotta love the Grieg represent in the beginning 🇧🇻
Good job ! The oboe is my first instrument, and I learned everything I needed to play the other instruments. Air support and pressure, tone attention, pitch precision, vibrato, and finger position. The single reeds are basically the same thing as the oboe (albeit with less pressure, but then again there's no instrument that requires more pressure than the oboe). You've already learned the brass embouchure with the horn, although it'll become very different with the low brass section. Now the last thing you'll need to learn to master all the wind instruments, is the flûte embouchure... And that one is months of work 😢
Good job on the oboe, impressive progress for a week's work. But then again you impressed me with the horn. I'm really happy we got to hear your first sound !
The oboe will only start sounding nice when you figure out how to relax your embouchure. It's always about the balance of lip pressure: too little and it will sound loose, too much and it'll sound nosey. Keep practicing your low register, and aim as a goal to play forte on a C ; that's the lip pressure I'm talking about. You may have heard your low D wants to jump to the middle register, that's because you're still bitting too hard, with not enough air support.
Last advice, explore the tone of your instrument while using different lengths of reed in your mouth. The perfect amount doesn't exist, it will impact the pitch, and the dynamics. A good player moves the reed around to get the color they want.
Thank you for all of these tips!
I play the saxophone, the simplest of the woodwinds IMO so I admire you and I'm very curious to learn what you'll learn playing this beautiful instrument. Double reeds are a mystery too me!
If you continue those weekly videos (I agree, I prefer it that way too), you should film yourself horizontally. You'd still be able to cut some vertical content from those horizontal videos.
Thanks! I will focus on that for my next instrument!
I learned flute this year for college and coming from horn, being able to play whatever note I put my fingers on was really nice for once 😅. Good luck with oboe!!
Do you plan on sticking with any of the instruments once you finish your goal?
I plan on sticking with all of them! Right now it’s a bit tricky because I don’t own any of them, but hopefully that will change soon!
@@2T_Music wow nice!
Oboe is a fantastic instrument and it seems like you’re doing pretty well. I just have two quick tips for you. 1.) From what I can see, your fingers are getting to far away from the keys when you lift them up, especially you ring fingers and pinkies, so I’d try to work on making sure your fingers stay as close to the keys as possible: this will help with all woodwinds moving forward. 2.) If you’re not doing so already, make sure you’re soaking your reed in a cup of warm water before you start playing, keep it in there for like 2-3 mins and then blow out the excess water before you start play. This helps you play for longer as opposed to just using saliva. The same principle will apply to Bassoon as well. Hope this helped!
Thank you! I always appreciate hearing tips from more experienced players!
Congratulation! After 5 days having acquired two whole registers… very nice! 👍🏼
I play the clarinet and after more than a decade, I begin being confident and pretty fluent in the highest of the three registers. ;)
So you‘ve already come far! ☺️
This is so inspiring! I’ve been waiting for the next installment of your journey and can’t wait till you get to trumpet 😉
Thank you, I appreciate your support!
Keep practicing horn, otherwise you’ll forget it
I started woodwind with oboe a couple months ago but you have more time than me so you’ll pass me probably next week
