Oboe Player in Da House

Hello fellow bloggers ☺ I am Julia and this is my blog about learning to play the oboe. I've always found the oboe to be a magestical instrument and it has always seemed to razz my berries, so I've decided to pick it up and learn to play it. I already play the piano, clarinet, and ukulele, so I don't think learning a fourth instrument will be thaaaaat hard...

If any of you were wondering what an oboe looks like, here's a picture. And contrary to popular belief, one can actually get the oboe to not sound like a dying duck if the right techniques are used. For my 20-time project I will attempt to learn some new oboe techniques so that I will hopefully be able to play an oboe song at the end of the school year. If any of you wanted to learn to play the oboe, I would recommend that you check out this website:
http://www.learntoplaytheoboe.com/
It's full of advice from different oboe reeds to buy to what teacher you can get.
I know, I'm so helpful.
I haven't actually started playing the oboe yet, so my project hasn't exactly started yet, but I am determined that when I begin playing it that it will be awesome. I got some recommendations on oboe reeds that I've ordered and I got an oboe to play on!
I hope you all enjoy my blog :)
