The oboe looks much like the clarinet, but it is played with a double reed instead of a single reed to produce its distinct, melodious sound. Due to the unique nature of these instruments, students playing these instruments are required to take weekly private lessons. There is also a beginning oboe camp offered in August for students interested in getting a jump-start before school begins. Please see Mrs. Cansler for more information.
