Ep. 4: Beginner Oboe TUTORIAL

How to play the oboe! This is a video for total beginners on the oboe; watch this video before you try to put your oboe together. Lots of useful information for those just starting off. In this video I demonstrate on a Yamaha YOB-241, thank you to Colin from Long & McQuade (Terminal location) for setting me up so well!

I cover in this video: how to put together your oboe properly, how long to soak your oboe reed, how to read a fingering chart, how to start a note, and some common problems that beginners face.

Let me know in the comments what you're interested in seeing me do next!
