Chapter 6: Developing Tone & Control
IN THIS LESSON:
Learn how to control your sound and volume on the Oboe.
Dynamic Control
For this exercise, we are going to work creating sound at softer dynamics to help develop control on the Oboe.
Begin with just your oboe reed.
Take a deep breath and form your embouchure.
Start with soft air and add air pressure until the sound starts.
Sustain the note for at least three to four seconds at that soft volume.
Now, repeat these steps on the Oboe with the exercise.
Doing this exercise will help you manage your volume and practice keeping a good, supported sound at softer dynamics.
