when I’m so angry at myself regarding my playing that I simply shouldn’t blog about it.
So I won’t. 🙁
reed on!
Take a look-see at the more of what I do and who I am if you feel like it! (I'm not "just" oboe and English horn. Honest!)

Mozart Adagio & Rondo
Swan Of Tuonela
Piazzolla Suite for Oboe and Strings
Well, you just DID! 😉
I know exactly what you mean; all musicians share this frustration at one time or another. There have been times when I’ve felt like throwing my horn against the wall. But somehow I refrain from doing so. Things are usually better the next time I pick the damn thing up!
Yeah, I know I did. I think this blog helps me cope or something. (It probably also loses me gigs and students, but oh well!)
This is a crazy life sometimes, you know?
I pick the oboe up for our final Eugene Onegin performance at 3:00 today. So there you go. We’ll see what happens! (Or we’ll hear what happens, anyway.)
