  • So for the black out section towards the end this is what it was supposed to say:
    So a lot of the resonance comes from lowering your jaw. It is almost like you are opening up your mouth but with your lips closed. I may have not done a good job explaining that, but hopefully you will be able to hear what I mean at the end.

    Whenever I try to play the low notes (from G all the way down to C) the tone sounds turbulent and "alarm-like", and this only happens on those lower notes. What can I do to fix this?

      Maybe an oboe issue? Or reed?

      Maintain your lip pressure as you descend into the lower register and blow slower. The more firm your emborchure the slower the air can move without the sound dying

      Practice the excerpts like crazy lol! Use a metronome ALWAYS; never play the fast excerpt beyond what you can handle with the metronome. Gradually increase the tempo overtime. Even if you can’t get it near tempo play it at what you can do comfortably for the audition.

      This is a recording of the etude I'm doing, and I'm struggling with two things. One is I can't hit some keys fast enough, they're a bit hard to reach, and the other is I have to stop and gasp for air or my lips get really tired and I have to stop. Are there ways to fix this?

      Yeah, sorry I never got braces so I’m not sure what advice I can give. Maybe try putting the reed in your mouth at different angles or part of the lips.
