Lesson 1 [9/2/15] & Lesson 2 [9/7/15]

Do we want to be a jack of all trades [like the players in Los Angeles],

Studio 1 (9/7 class cancelled)

Basic oboe information
Buffer the oboe in Winter1. Use orange peels for humidifying within the dry heater conditioned rooms
2. Wrap the case and cover in scarfs for extra layer of insulation when travelling
Nervous-isms:
PROVE YOURSELF
I AM READY!
Once on stage, No worries, I might as well enjoy it.
Blind Auditions- Practice blowing/playing into a wall, to get used to not seeing the energy of
people listening.
Technique within auditions- look for pedal tones, or repetitive notes that you can cling on to
Shaper Tip Ideas- get an oboe that plays sharp, so that you can use a wider tip

Lesson 3 (9/14)
Mozart- needs grace and elegance: {like the dances and girls etiquette}

Dr. Sergei Kuitko (Russian recording engineer)

NO OBOE LISTENING- this generation listens for the skin deep attractions of sex appeal,
whereas the previous generation knew to look for musicianship and concepts of high standard.
Spread Sound- European players have the strongest musical souls, it is evident in the freeblowing instruments they play on... not just Lorees and Marigohs!
Studio 2 (9/14)
Scales- Its whats for dinner.
