Tip of the Day: Take it to another instrument

Saturday, January 30, 2021 by Nate Burgos | Oboe Tip of the Day

Today's tip is to take difficult passages and movements fo oboe music and play them on other instruments to gain insight.  I often play difficult oboe passages on flute and piano to help me identify phrasing, dynamic ideas, tone color ideas, tuning, and flow.  Sometimes a passage is easier to play and thus deconstruct on another instrument.  Give it a try!
