Suffocating Problems
Hi guys, so I’ve been playing the oboe for a couple of years now and recently I’ve been having this problem of having my high notes (A, B, Bb, even G and G#) to become flat after I play around a certain couple of measures. Whats strange to me is that if I take just a second or so of break and play where I messed up it sounds perfectly fine. It’s weirder to me how when I go from middle range notes to high notes it becomes a problem. I have good breath and when I start on a high note it plays fine but when i play around 20 or so measures suffocating becomes an issue? Idk if it’s my breathing or my throat but it’s really starting to impact me because I can’t even hold my breath for a page before my lips wants to start biting just to hold an A
Any tips please? Thank you
