So an oboist has posted a portion of a Barret study. Hmmm. I can do that with the MacBook … right? I’ve not tried, but it seems to me that maybe I could. I should do this for my students, so they can see how they are playing. I suppose, though, they wouldn’t appreciate it posted on YouTube. (But notice you can’t see the oboist in the video? I could film that way.) Without a great microphone setup one doesn’t get perfect sound, but you can listen for glitches, rhythm and intonation, certainly. (And no, I won’t be critiquing the video I’m posting; the oboist hasn’t asked for that on the YouTube page, so I’m assuming he isn’t interested in our doing that.) Not sure why I am only now thinking of this as a teaching aid. I guess I not only have OldBoeBrain, but I have SlowBoeBrain too. Go figure.

Anyway, check it out!
