So when oboists begin, they aren’t playing the popular Gabriel’s Oboe or Penderecki, and you might not wind up playing in a major symphony orchestra like Liang Wang for a while. But they can play some simpler tunes and I say, good start, Sarah!

No, she isn’t my student. I just found this on YouTube. The first thing I’d love to do is get her a reed. (I suspect she’s playing on a plastic reed … anyone else with me on this?) But really, this sweet girl is getting notes and a big sound and she’s as cute as can be, too.

Hoorah for young, new oboists! 🙂
