Tip of the Day: Adjust your playing angle
Monday, February 1, 2021 by Nate Burgos | Oboe Tip of the Day
Try adjusting your oboe to a 45 Degree angle while you play. We often notice that students play with their oboes too close to their body which can cause the air flow to bend thus not producing a full sound, causing the oboist to not get optimal air support, and it can distort the embouchure. Move the bell of your oboe away from your body until you are at approximately a 45-degree angle between your torso and oboe. See the difference!
