The Oboe: A Classical Icon in Detail

The oboe belongs to the classical woodwind family and is renowned for its bright, lively tone, which varies with playing technique. Its sound is produced through a double reed, closely relating it to the bassoon, though the oboe is smaller in size.
Tone holes are covered using keys, which vary in number depending on the instrument model. Behind the instrument is a sophisticated key mechanism, which contributes to its difficulty.
In your lessons with Home Music Teachers, you’ll learn proper fingerings, mechanics, and technique — all essential for creating that signature oboe sound.
