… some of you might be wondering about the ™ that I put up by certain words or phrases sometimes. It’s really just a bit of a joke. I honestly don’t believe I am trademarking these things.
And, mostly, I love the way ™ looks.
Who wouldn’t?!
Astor Piazzolla – Soledad (Accordion, violin, oboe, piano, bass)
Marius Stravinsky, violin; Eleonora Bekova, piano; Yuri Charyguine, accordion; Margherita Kalcheva, bass; John McDonough, oboe.
Anyone read my new book??? >> “How to kill a rat with anoboe” giggle 🙂
Yep … this is what I’m doing these days:
Gee, I can even hear the oboe sometimes. How ’bout that?!
Asked online:
How Do I Become a Professional Oboist?
I would love to become a professional oboist, and I believe now is the time I need to get my head in the game. All I’m asking for is some assistance on how to reach my goal. I attend Davidson Fine Arts Magnet School, I’ve played oboe for 3 years [7th grade to 9th] and I’ve joined local bands, such as the Augusta Wind Conservatory & District Honor Band & All County Band. I believe its time for me to become more serious. The question is, how?
I am so very thankful I moved into this career when I did, landing my symphony job in 1975. It was easier then; there were fewer oboists, and there were orchestras that were newly formed, others that were moving from an amateur status to professional, and a good number of groups seemed to be improving and growing. It was just an easier time.
Now there are a lot more very fine oboists and a lot fewer jobs. It’s a tough time!
How would you answer this young oboist’s question?
Snore Along With Ludwig
I have had oboe concertos stuck in my head all morning. It really adds a sense of gravitas to office work
I only see this listing for players … so am I seeing and hearing wrong? (It CAN happen!) But in any case, this is a fun listen!
