Double the Reed, Double the Fun! Oboe Basics for the Middle and High School Director

Clinic Synopsis:

It is not uncommon to be tentative about starting an oboe player if you are a middle and/ or high school director as the oboe is among the most challenging instruments to teach and learn. This session will provide a refresher on oboe basics and will present new ideas that will help to select, educate and motivate your future oboists. Topics include selecting your oboists, reed basics, embouchure development, air support, assembly, hand position and instrument selection, among others.
