I just started taking oboe lessons in 2020 in my late 50s. I enjoy the instrument, but have a long ways to go to become halfways proficient...

The oboe is high attractive and time-consuming once you pick it up. I am COMPLETELY self-taught considering no private lessons on the instruments+ no real instruction by my band directors. I’m the only oboist in my high school’s band program, and I have that great, REAL oboe tone. I have prior experience on the viola and looking forward to make more reeds(its a difficult process).

Both my parents played the Oboe. Professionally. They were good! And I’ll never forget the sound as I went to sleep every night listening to them. I miss it very much.

Even though I play the Violin and Piano, I always loved the Oboe and Harp, I'm grateful there are Oboe players.

We really are a unique species, a species that seeks for years, decades even, just so we can get that beautiful sound from a piece of wood.

I started playing the oboe when i was 10, I'm 19 now and I've played in several amateur orchestras, ranging from band to symphonic to a musical-specific orchestra. There have been times when i would cry in frustration listening back to my performances, not liking the way i sounded. Times when i was embarrassingly redfaced and out of breath, like after playing the swan lake solo for the first time. times when i would break down after having to do an audition for an orchestra or doing a musical exam. But in the end i love the sound of the oboe, there are bad days but they are so worth it for the fun experiences I've had in the orchestras I've played it, and knowing you are able to play an instrument that only very few people do (relatively). I've had a few periods of very few practice, close to zero, and i would be afraid that i would forget everything I've learned. But when i pick up the instrument again and start practicing more intensively I'm realizing how much more i can do now, I'm able to do vibrato, I'm able to reach the high F above the bar. I'm able to play in tune in the third octave, I've finally unlearned my bad habit of sliding to the right E-flat key from the C-sharp key. The oboe has become a real friend for me, and I know that I'll keep on playing it for a long time.

When I first joined band, I ended up vetoing every instrument (although I almost chose clarinet, but decided against it, I can’t remember why.) My mother told me, “hey, this instrument is weird, and you are too!” So, I was interested, and so we rented an oboe from a music store! I was pretty bad for the first 4 years of playing it, but last year and this year I’ve started taking lessons and improved drastically. In fact, I almost made district this year (my first ever actual audition), and I got a score of 78! I got my first ever wooden oboe last year (a YOB-441) and have been hoping to start making my own reeds soon too. I’m going to keep practicing as much as I can with my busy school schedule, and I hope to get really good at my instrument.

My son picked up the Oboe aged 4 and would not let go of it. He even managed to make a sound. I can assure you there is no history of anybody playing the oboe in my family at all. There is an instrument for everyone it's just that not many people get to try out enough instruments to find the one which suits them.

I've been playing flute for 11 years and picked up the oboe at the beginning of 2022 because there was no oboist in my church's orchestra. Around 9 or 10 months later, here I am, in a love-hate relationship with the oboe. I can't play for too long and I'm always uncertain of my reeds' moods for that practice session; but the sense of accomplishment that I feel when the note blends beautifully with the orchestra really keeps me going. Ah, what an instrument!

I played the oboe a lot from 11 to 18 and now after a very busy career when I didn't play at all, I am picking it up again in my 50s. And yes - I remember why I fell in love with it in the first place, but it's still a fickle thing to play!

As someone who has been playing the oboe through school for 6 years now, I am ashamed to admit that I chose the oboe solely because the first time I played it, it tickled my tongue.
