Hi!Juz wondering if u ppl can gimme any suggestions on my topic...oh...n i juz joined the sch band n learn e oboe..

SUre go ahead and try out the flute. If you can manage a difficult instrument like the oboe the flute should be no problem But I guess it DOES depend on the person, but I say GO for it!

I`d like to turn this question around now. There are no Oboe players in my band and although I am first chair in my band I was wondering, does anyone think I should switch to Oboe? I relaly want to, this other girl might switch also. I want to major in music when I`m older and I thought it would be a lot eaiser getting into a college playing Oboe then it would be playing flute. Should I try it out?

Thanks,
-Ash

Wow!JazzyJssica!You play so many instruments!Thankz for ur advice Ashley...Well,u should try oboe.But u muz be prepared as u dun hold the oboe sideways(tats OBVIOUS) n well...the notes for oboe is actually the same except for fingering,i think...n u hav to be prepared for e amount of air u need to use...

How much do obeo reeds cost?

Well...i`m not quite sure...the gd ones can cost about $30 sumthing...the the cheapest i know is $9 sumthing...the ones we use in sch is priced at $27.95...if i remembered correctly...

HEY JESSICA me too ! E-mail me lol Webdisgnr101@yahoo.com I`m gonna try flute.. i play clarinet, piano, sax, gonna learn violin next school year.. and i might be getting a flute soon!

Wow!I sure look lik a loser in here...u lot sure know how to play instruments...i onli noe how to play the piano,oboe,a lil drums and recorder.....

Hey!I tried the flute out the other day without teacher`s supervision n I CAN PLAY!!!!!!Woo Hoo!Well...the bad thing rite now is i cant switch instru coz there isnt enough in my sch`s band....

Hey! I switched from the oboe to the flute and I have one thing to say: In my opinion the embouchure is harder to do than the oboe`s and that it was the best move of ma life!

P.S.-Keep playin the oboe, it`ll help you in the end.

i am an oboe player by nature and i started it as my first woodwind instrument in 6th grade band. i will go into the 7th grade next year but i will go into the 8th grade band. My school is national champs in marching band, but in ohio you cant march with a oboe is the flute a good instrument to switch to? i have tried my friends flute and i made a sound on it. Visit our bands website: www.marching-eagles.org, go to photos and click on the 2003 winter 6th grade band concert then click on the 3rd picture down farthest to the left(it should be a picture of 5 oboists) i am the 2nd from the left.

I wouldn`t wanna play flute during marching season for one reason. I don`t know how your band does it but sheez our flutes get some of the hardest times!! They make em do push ups and all of that so they can keep their flutes PERFECTLY parallel to the ground! lol But if you have no problem with that then go for it!

Go for the flute. If ya don`t like it, then stick with the oboe
