A Successful Oboe Day!


The University of Regina hosted a successful oboe day on Monday November 18th. The purpose of the day was to raise the level of double reed performance by proividing specific information to young oboists and teachers. Many topics were workshopped, including reed making and adjustments, breathing and air management, solo and ensemble repertoire, oboe specific warm ups, how to practice, and performing versus practicing. A mini recital was also held featuring clinicians and select junior and senior oboists. All of this was followed by a teacher session in which the teachers were required to play to help debunk the myth that oboe is hard. 

The session was led primarily by Tamsin Johnston, principal Oboe for the Regina Symphony Orchestra and an SBA Clinician Bureau member. Thanks is also given to Brent Ghiglione for helping host the event.

Participants of all grades and levels came from Yorkton, Lumsden, Regina, Grenfell, Indian Head, and Regina Beach to benefit for this unique opportunity!
