If you are serious about improving your oboe reed making, or are just starting out and want to learn more, the one thing you must know is

What is it that you want from a reed, and how do you get it.

The most important ingredient to good consistent oboe reed making is knowing exactly what you want from the reed before you can learn how to construct it. Once you do that, you can make them with consistent predictable results. That is one of the biggest "secrets" to making decent oboe reeds.

It is easy to become frustrated by making reeds that don't work the way you want them to. Take control back and relax a bit. Wouldn't it be nice to:

• Spend less time on carpentry skills?
• Have more time to improve musical skills?
• Always have a good reed for concerts and lessons?

"Making Oboe Reeds" will give you the knowledge to be able to make reeds when you need them the most, without all the frustration.

It doesn't matter what level oboist you are, or even if you are just starting out making reeds. This ebook was written for you.

I have made lots of reeds during my 18 year professional orchestral, chamber music, and teaching career. All of my knowledge has been crammed into this ebook for you.

You can know which chords go with each melody note!

Before long he was playing the song with both hands -- not just the tune, but harmonizing each melody note with a beautiful chord. I loved it, but I had no idea how he did it.

The 4 Secrets of Harmonization Dave Taught Me

• How the theme of a song reveals about 3/4 of the chords you can use to harmonize it...so once you harmonize the theme, you're almost home free...
• How the shape of the melody often "gives away" what chord you should use to harmonize it...
