![]() Well, I ended up moving to another city where the band program started in grade 7 (as opposed to 6), so the teacher wouldn't let me switch because she liked having a strong player able to assist her in showing the new players the ropes.Īnd really, though the oboe IS vastly different than flute and the fact it was my first love - it's still a mostly 'melodic' type instrument in a band setting with it doubling either flute or clarinet parts with the occasional solo work.So now I'm stuck with a choice - bassoon or oboe. When I first began, I really wanted to play the oboe, but our school only had 1 and the older student had dibs on it, so the band teacher started me on flute and would switch the following year once the grade 9er left. Hopefully that won't make you all think less of me, but it is what it is.Now, the questions.I've played flute/picc for 20 years and am thinking now of switching. ![]() ![]() I am only involved in the local community band scene - I am not professional nor do I aspire to be. Prior to that I played piano.not well, but enough. ![]() Hi,I'm sure everyone hates these kinds of questions, but I'm looking for valid advice and wasn't sure whether to post it here or in the oboe forums, but figure some of my questions are more bassoon related than oboe And sorry for writing a book:SThe details:I am 32 and have played flute and piccolo since I was 12.
