I’ve been playing oboe for almost 4 years now and I’m so happy that content like this has been made that is more current. Usually everything for oboe is 5-10 years old and it’s Hard to find good info for oboes since it’s not played by a lot of people compared to the flute or the clarinet. Thank you for making videos like this!
I “attempted” playing oboe as a second instrument in high school, and it was a complete fail. Lol! If I knew you back then I could’ve used your help. Lol.
im trying to do a resume of "vibrato tecniches", and that´s why i came to see if i could copy-paste something from here, i think not, but well, i liked the video
An interesting and entertaining video - I have been struggling to develop vibrato using my diaphragm...time to try your 'throat' technique I think...fingers crossed! Will keep you posted! :-)
By Jove - I think it’s working! :-) Thank you SOOO much - I’ve been struggling with the diaphragm method for years believing it was the ‘proper’ way! :-)
Awesome video, definitely useful and interesting! Question- I have a consistent vibrato and decent control over it, but sometimes I find that I'm making a vocalizing noise when I use my vibrato, like my vocal cords are actually vibrating with the vibrato. Do you know of any way to rein this in?
Hi Curran, my advice to get rid of this "click" in the throat is to make sure your reeds are not too resistant, and to work on your vibrato using the exercise in the video, paying special attention to the motion of your vocal chords. Try seeing if you can create a very gentle vibration without the clicking, eventually you will have the full range of expression in your vibrato without the distracting noise.
your vibrato is lovely. I have played for many years. I decided it was time to correct and get a lovely vibrato insteadkI I shou I got a horrible wobble. I should have taped myself but I didn't. My son told about it. I didn't hear it. I have some jobs coming up and I am very upset by what I have done to what was a really nice sound with minimal vibrato. It was fine. But I wanted a gorgeous vibrato. How can I turn a wobble into a vibrato as I worked hard to get this horrible wobble studying every tutorial. I have a basically good sound. I studied with fine teachers. I think I am going above and below the pitch. rather than staying on pitch with a nice vibrato. HELP!
Thanks for the nice video and beautiful sound. The statement about oscillating the pitch below the nominal pitch and not above the pitch seems debatable. In fact, we hear the average pitch. So, should not below or above the pitch, but in the "middle". Also , the " throat vibrato " idea should be investigated and supported by evidences. Most of vibrato seems to be produced by respiratory muscles activity and even slight lip/embouchure concomitant variations. Thanks !
I've been playing for 10 years now, I can do vibrato (kinda) but every teacher of mine always said that throat vibrato is not good and I shouldn't do that. We do it from the stomack. Can you explain the difference? Or do you know why they say throat vibrato is not good? Thank you♥️♥️
@@nbori91 thanks for watching my video! Vibrato is a matter of personal taste and there’s no wrong way as long as the vibrato is aesthetically pleasing and adds to the music. Many of the top professionals in the field do use throat vibrato! You should find what works best for you. The difference between the two is largely where you conceive of the vibrato originating.
Look for "MacPhail Center for Music - Oboe Vibrato" and the comments: it is rarely used, although it is used with some exotic double reed instruments like duduk or the ney. If you would listen to it, you hear a lot of pitch variations. You hear pitch variations with the violin vibrato, but I think - although I'm not an expert - that we are not used to 'pitch'/lip vibrato on the oboe, but we want vibrato that mimics the voice: a tone that will be louder/softer, but not differ in pitch (to much). A very good youtube movie is 'Oboe 101 3 Ways to Make Vibrato on Oboe'. He explains the difference.

You're so welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the videos!
Thanks Ron! My daughter has been struggling with vibrato and we just watched your video. This helped a lot.
That's fantastic! Glad it was helpful!
I know this video was 3 years ago but oh my goodness the vibrato exercise helped SO MUCH! Will definitely be adding it to my practice routine.

Awww!!! It's not too late hahah

Your Videos are helping me so much, please more of that :)
Such a wonderfully helpful video. Thank you! Looking forward to that video about incorporating emotions into our playing :-)

thank you this was so helpful ,I just find it hard to blow and make the sound it kind of just sounds like spitting but eventually i got it thanks😄.

or just be nervous......that will do it!! lol
Olaa,tudo bem? Sou seguidor no insta e seu super fã número 1 hehehe você toca muito 😱😱
I feel like my bottom lip is mostly doing the vibration work, is this bad practice?

Didn’t help );
I would advise you that developing a beautiful vibrato takes time, around 4-12 months of consistent work. Keep trying the exercise! Good luck!
Voice of video not good
