Took myself to the botanical gardens in 102 degree heat, and all my selfies look like I’m holding myself hostage. Swipe for a soothing koi pond and assorted gardens. You can guess which one is the “English Garden”. #itwasveryempty #itwasveryhot #noboe #exploring #idaho #sunflowers #soenglish #koipond #mountainwest #localplants #oregongrape #lewisandclark #musicianfun #stillnogigs #gratuitousselfie #procrastination (at Idaho Botanical Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDU4-fHAei5/?igshid=opxeitb7ay8x
Very much looking forward one day to being that teacher who passes on tons of cool music to her students; very much enjoying still being the beneficiary of that right now. Very much enjoying my new music by Kay and Nash; very much enjoying the comfort of 19th-c oboist-composers (#mezzosopranoclef aside). Now to get my English horn working... #oboelife #idrslife #englishhorn #coranglais #cornoinglese #yvon #vogt #honegger #verroust #reicha #lailliet #sonata #concertodacamera #themeandvariations #oboe #oldmusic #newmusic #practicing #musicianfun #classicalmusic #musiciansofinstagram #oohshiny #oboe #hautbois #obo #howarthoflondon #mcginnisandmarx https://www.instagram.com/p/CDE-pm-AmaC/?igshid=lz82na7tr7o1
This whole permanent reed desk thing is awesome. I’m still pinching myself that I live in this whole entire townhouse with an office and a living room and laundry and a kitchen table. And patio chairs!

A relatively accurate summary of what’s coming in my car tomorrow now that the movers have taken everything. (Sweatshirt from @reedsdoubled and I love it.)

No reed-making until Boise! (If i disappear from Instagram on and off for the next like week and a half it’s because I’m packing and moving.) #oboelife #oboereeds #doublereed #anciadoppia #idrslife #hautbois #obo #oboe #reedtools #reedmaking #reedthread #woodwind #oboist #ughpacking #procrastination #noconcerts #musicianlife #classicalmusic #lifegoeson #iguess #musiciansofinstagram #whyisit90outsidethisweekofallweeks https://www.instagram.com/p/CByya-kAKZx/?igshid=j1g4w3xxvlr7
For as often as I open up my Ferling book, I rarely play the duets - so I was really glad when @keithoboe suggested we play one. They’re delightful and cheery, and of course are a classic of the oboe tradition. A little bit more relaxing than the Pasculli and Coleridge-Taylor I’ve been playing! One thing I’ve really enjoyed about long-distance duetting has been adjusting my sound to match a wide range of oboe styles - it was really fun to rediscover my European sound last week with @luyipracticesoboe and to sink into a more classic American style with Keith. In general, I’m really glad I’ve been able to do these duets - truly I usually rely on orchestra as an anchor for my emotional/mental health and not having that outlet is hard! Online duets definitely aren’t the same, but they do help. (By the way, Keith is the oboe prof at @wku, and you should check him out! We need an eyebrow situation update.) #ferling #duet #oboelife #idrslife #chambermusic #longdistanceduet #quarantinelife #musicianfun #oboe #hautbois #obo #doublereed #anciadoppia #oboereed #longscrapereed #shortscrapereed #classicalmusic #etudebook #practicing #oboeiskeepingmesane #musiciansofinstagram @acapellaapp #howarthoflondon #yamaha https://www.instagram.com/p/CBqumNyAHPJ/?igshid=6ps8btxpbo2n
@luyioboe / @luyipracticesoboe sent me her part of this lovely flute duet about two and a half weeks ago, and while I looked at it when she first suggested the piece, it turns out I’d been a little bit complacent. This was a real challenge! She’s posted the entire 3 minute movement on her page and you can hear that there’s not much of a break anywhere! That paired with the continued reality that it’s difficult to navigate musicality and interpretations when you’re playing asynchronously means that I’m both impressed with how this came out and wistfully thinking about how much more we could have done stylistically in person. But I think we sound pretty good together, and I’m impressed with our tuning given that she plays at 442 and I play at 440! I’m glad that Luyi suggested it, and that she recorded first so that I could have the chamber music experience and that she did the hard part of syncing the videos! Even though it’s nothing like playing in person, I am enjoying getting to “play” with people in different countries who I will probably never get to actually meet. #bach #wfbach #otherbach #otherotherbach #chambermusic #collaboration #classicalmusic #duet #oboelife #idrslife #doublereed #anciadoppia #oboe #hautbois #shortscrapereed #longscrapereed #obo #a440 #a442 #musiciansofinstagram #musicianlife #howarthoflondon #woodwind https://www.instagram.com/p/CBefrAUloh9/?igshid=fejtex3eckb4
This just in: dogs still not good at social distancing. In other news, i am moving to Boise in 18 days (movers come in 17 days), and while I am extremely excited about my new job, I am also feeling some feelings. #whatatime #puppy #familytime #pnw #portland #roses #puppysnuggles #academia #changeishard #okbackatit #noboe #musicianlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CBW94ivATUt/?igshid=ikft9qqrlo2d
The opening of Samuel Coleridge Taylor’s Violin Concerto - this is obviously NOT one of the oboe pieces recommended today by @instituteforcomposerdiversity, but I want to point you in their direction anyway! They’re putting together lists of Black composers for every instrument this month and today is Oboe Day. I’m happy to find some new rep - I often get lazy about looking for new composers because I have so much backlog from my own research and because I don’t love a lot of “traditional” contemporary composition tropes. (Thus stealing this violin concerto.) But I’m gathering rep for my new studio; most oboists are much more into contemporary music than I am. #oboelife #idrslife #oboemusic #englishhorn #coranglais #hautbois #obo #oboe #newmusic #notsonewmusic #contemporarymusic #livingcomposers #20thcenturycomposers #practicing #concerto #violin #coleridgetaylor #classicalmusic #woodwind #musiciansofinstagram #doublereed #anciadoppia #romanticmusic #americanmusic https://www.instagram.com/p/CBOi7-Cgh4P/?igshid=1m739r920phcz
Breonna Taylor would have been 27 tomorrow. @battymamzelle has organized actions you can take to help her killers be named and charged. Please go to her Instagram page and do what you can. If you have already, thank you. I didn’t plan on posting anything today, but my posts reach 5 or 10 or 20 times as many people as my stories so this seemed worth putting something up. I’m thinking about how to helpfully use and maintain my audience right now - long term is easier in terms of sharing info and lesson and class planning etc than the immediate short term. So I’m sorry if this is not helpful. #breonnataylor #pleasesign #pleasewrite #sayhername #musiciansofinstagram #classicalmusic #contemporarymusic #modernmusic #oboe #obo #hautbois #woodwind #oboelife #idrslife #doublereed #poulenc #sonata #practicing #performance #academia #composers #anciadoppia #themusicalcanon #oboemusic #oboist https://www.instagram.com/p/CBB1lp9AtUM/?igshid=6i15g496j27o
Do you, like me, suffer from #oboeface? Does every photo of you playing look uniquely, mysteriously unfortunate? I have the solution.

Progress. I’ve felt like I’ve had an awfully slow end to last week/start to this week, but in reality it’s been a little bit of a low spot combined with a lot of sorting out logistics and living stuff, combined with my tutoring work and also some practicing and reeds and academic writing. So maybe in an ideal world I could have kept juggling those at the same rate, in reality sometimes something has to give - and sometimes that thing will be practice time. It’s ok to need some downtime, even if you don’t feel like you “should” need it. Right, back to oboe and puppy posts... #oboelife #idrslife #academia #moving #quarantinelife #oboereeds #writinganarticle #classprep #reedmaking #gopractice #hautbois #oboe #obo #anciadoppia #doublereed #howarthoflondon #chiarugi #squirrelystash #reedthread #musiciansofinstagram #classicalmusic #oboist #woodwind #doingmybest #hanginthere https://www.instagram.com/p/CAYfOpbgN8t/?igshid=zlcmpk78hyf
