I have been playing Alto Saxaphone for about two years now, and just recently switched to Oboe because my band directors needed an Oboist. I was struggling getting a good tone and this helped a lot. Do you have any tips for squeaking when changing notes? I'm struggling with not squeaking the most when playing Oboe.

I've been playing for 10 years now, I can do vibrato (kinda) but every teacher of mine always said that throat vibrato is not good and I shouldn't do that. We do it from the stomack. Can you explain the difference? Or do you know why they say throat vibrato is not good? Thank you♥️♥️

The background music is unnecessary.

Like this comment if you like to put your reed in your mouth.

If you don't mind sharing, what was the piece you were playing? Is there a recording of it somewhere? The way you described all the extended techniques, it sounds like it would be really interesting to listen to.

I had to play the oboe once in college and it sounded like a duck being strangled! I contacted an oboe player and she told me not to use the same breathing force like I was playing the flute. It worked out pretty good until the next semester when three oboe players entered the band, so it was back to the flute/piccolo!

Can I ask name of song 4:01

I have been considering to learn oboe. I am not sure If I will get wood one or plastic since I am a 15 year old gifted child so I am worried that I might learn everything in 10 minutes like I normally do.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I would probably just decline playing it. Either that or get a cornetto and learn to play it. Attempting to turn a modern oboe into a cornetto seems to be to be a ridiculous exercise in absurdity. Just say no and find composers who compose for real instruments played in real ways.

It’s very much “they get what they get” sort of piece 🙃

Oh, my ... What a journey!

You continue to inspire me! Your relentless pursuit of your art moved you to find a solution and try to the the voice the composer intended, although it was not a particularly reasonable request. Also, thanks for including the segment showing your own growth. BTW, they do look very real ;-)

sir, what is the best oboe reed synthetic for you? I was an oboe player , for about 4 years, and stopped playing the oboe for about 16 years. Now I want to play the oboe instrument again with a synthetic reed what reed would you recommend me, sir? thanks a lot!

Utterly wonderful! Such mind-blowing virtuosity!

Have you looked at the new version of the Ambipoly American scrape reed? I'd be interested in your take on it.

your vibrato is lovely. I have played for many years. I decided it was time to correct and get a lovely vibrato insteadkI I shou I got a horrible wobble. I should have taped myself but I didn't. My son told about it. I didn't hear it. I have some jobs coming up and I am very upset by what I have done to what was a really nice sound with minimal vibrato. It was fine. But I wanted a gorgeous vibrato. How can I turn a wobble into a vibrato as I worked hard to get this horrible wobble studying every tutorial. I have a basically good sound. I studied with fine teachers. I think I am going above and below the pitch. rather than staying on pitch with a nice vibrato. HELP!

Yamaha definitely sounds better than the expensive oboe😂

Very impressive showing by the beginner oboe, and very nicely played on both instruments!I've played a number of beginner oboes back-to-back, comparing them to my Loree. (Used to work at a music store.) I think one of the big issues is the feel, especially when shaping dynamics. Some beginner oboes feel stiff, sometimes diminishing the positive color changes that can accompany a crescendo or diminuendo. Would love to hear, on a comparison, an excerpt that highlights dynamic transitions. Also, a report on if the oboe feels stiffer or looser or however it might be different. Can you add any comments on that? Nice work, looking forward to checking out your other videos!

Any updates I.e. reedgeek use of both the items?

Sumptuous and lyrical, bravo!

Your Videos are helping me so much, please more of that :)

What were the excerpts you played? I particularly liked the last one.

I love trios i did one with clarinet, basson and oboe. very beautiful performance .

This is beautiful, thank you Ari ( I never commented, but I enjoyed them for a long time )

You should do a review on a Moresky oboe, they're really cheep and people seem to like them

Question what music app do you use for music

I REALLY want to play oboe.. but I'm a trumpet-

Lucky him, professional teacher and instrument ❤

Wow! Thank you for this video! It's so inspirational because I don't know WHERE to BEGIN starting back playing again. With studying FOREVER for my music therapy boards and giving my all to my students and administration, I just NEVER have the time or energy to start back playing. Oh, the frustration....I will also transfer my oboe skills to my piano and guitar skills....Thank you very much! Musical Blessings!

As a beginner flutist, this videos rly interesting 😂

I am a beginner and these tips helped immediately! Could you help me understand how to stop a note without it going flat at the last second?

Thank you so much - this was very helpful. I use the RnS Liang and Coleman shapes and like both a lot. They are a bit wider, I think. But it all depends on how you tie them, of course.

For some reason my obese doesn't have enough keys. Plz help I'm what to do

I wish you had used a straight recording of you oboe sound so we could hear the true sound. You have obviously enhanced it to sound like you are playing in a cathedral or something. Otherwise I like your channel and your content. Thanks.

I am a Clarinetist but I had to switch to oboe so Im pretty happy because its my fav instrument

Just asking, but what is your favorite color thread to tie reeds with, mine’s certain shades of purple or dark green

Great video, thanks. Could you give tips on adjusting a reed to correct flat g's and c's on all octaves?

i’ve had some shockingly good jones reeds and some horridly bad ones. depends on the day

I can not hear any difference between the reeds you are playing besides that they sound a bit too strong or too light. I can experience you, your sound and your attitude and playing style stronger than the quality of the cane. I think the recording is good but not good enough to judge such a thing. The hardness of the cane and the inner tension and flexibility, in my opinion, is much more important, as well as maybe also the brand...to me density it is a myth, but of course there are so many parameters like personal style and taste, the room in which you perform, climate, season, meters about sea level, weather, instrument and so on. But it is intersting and I appreciate your testing and video, well done!

How do I get that sweatshirt though?? I'm also an oboist!

Hello! I am a clarinetist who may be switching to oboe soon. After some research, I read that medium to soft reeds would be better for beginners. But as a clarinetist, who’s been playing for 5 years, do you think I could start on a harder reed?

Well done indeed dear Peter, you are doing really well with the oboe. Once you get the hang of the breathing, then you will progress very quickly. What you have achieved so far is extremely impressive, so keep on going!! Remember you have the best teacher in Ari!! God bless you guys for sharing these beautiful videos. XXX🤩

amazing video :)

water??? dont most people just... put it in their mouths for a bit?

Does anybody know what excerpt he’s playing?

3:35 and 4:38 to hear the difference.

How do you put an oboe together with a low B-flat key

I know this video was 3 years ago but oh my goodness the vibrato exercise helped SO MUCH! Will definitely be adding it to my practice routine.

Oh my goodness! I went through the seven steps just today and already I notice a difference in tone and sound! Thank you so much!! Subbed and liked!

Hey there Ron, thank you for another fantastic video!! So lovely seeing that you play the Cor Anglais too!! I'm really enjoying learning my oboe which I took up just six months ago at the ripe old age of 58!! Yes indeed as an old bird, I'm really loving learning the oboe, my only regret is that I didn't start this decades ago!! A very challenging but beautiful instrument and a real joy to play. This was the best birthday present ever from my dear husband. The really exciting thing is that the rental has now expired, so we will be looking to buy an oboe of my very own this coming week!!!!! How exciting is that!!!!! Anyway, Happy Christmas to you and Pete. Warmest wishes from Carolyn all the way from the snow free but very cold Kent in the UK. XXX🤩
