Oboe

A graduate program in oboe can be quite different from the undergraduate experience. Hopefully, by the time you enter into a graduate program, your technique has been built up enough that you can focus on learning a large quantity of repertoire, including solo, chamber and orchestral, and preparing for and going out to do professional auditions. By this point you should also be proficient in your reed making so that they are consistent and reliable. In your graduate experience much more independece and self-motivation are required to be successful.
