The oboe is one of the orchestra's clearest voices: its penetrating tone traditionally provides the A that everyone tunes to. It uses a double reed, two blades that vibrate against each other, so it calls for a particular embouchure and careful air control. It is a less common instrument, and oboists are often welcome in youth orchestras and chamber ensembles.

From age 10
The oboe usually starts at about 10 or more and often after a time with another wind instrument. Double cane requires quite a monitoring of lips and air pressure and their hands have to reach the keys with precision. Each child is different: if his or her motivation, his or her teacher can be valued to start earlier. Adults can start at any age and if you want to get deeper, read at what age to start studying music.
You develop a very fine monitoring of your lips and air, and that's directly reflected in sound quality.
He trains his ear for tuning, because the oboe responds to minor changes in his mouth.
To be less common, they usually have space in youth orchestras, symphonic bands and camera groups.
It brings you closer to a precious repertoire: Baroque concerts, camera music and great symphony soles.

He has a high profile, especially at first: to get a stable sound with a double cane takes time and patience. On a well-guided basis, these difficulties are being solved step by step. That's why it's worth a teacher that fixes his mouth from day one and prevents bad habits from being established.
Not at first. Beginner's have been put up with rods, and teacher helps you choose one with good response. Over time, many oboists learn how to scrape and adjust their rods to suit their sound, but it's an intermediate or advanced level step.
It's not required but helps. Having touched sweet flute, naughty flute or clarinet gives bases of breathing, reading and digitation that facilitate the first few months. If you have clear that you want oboe, you can start directly with him.
Yes, they work very well for repertoire, reading and monitoring of sound, always with the camera close to the embocture and a clear audio. For first emocatura adjustments, some people prefer to start with home classes in and around Bogotá. We help you decide home or virtual classes.
