Oboe Tutoring FAQ
Most musicians would agree that the oboe is one of the most complex and challenging instruments to play. From tuning to getting used to the double reed functions, it can often feel awkward and more trouble than it's worth. But, you shouldn't give up! The oboe has a unique sound and is absolutely a fundamental piece of many bands, orchestras, and both classic and modern music. Because of its complexity, oboe tutoring is almost required when you decide you want to play this instrument. Practice is necessary and recommended, but working with a good oboe tutor can help you stay focused on what you're playing and how you're sounding. Contact us at Varsity Tutors for help finding an oboe tutor who can provide feedback and support.
