Breathing Fundamentals and Oboe Masterclass
76 minutes program and introduction to a new way of playing the oboe. Plus a masterclass with Mozart oboe Quartet with the techniques implied on top of the music. You will learn about the great benefits the Breathing and Blowing ideas have to offer your own playing on a daily basis. No hokus pokus- simple and down to earth ideas and exercises.
Kristian Steenstrup is regarded one of the finest music pedagogues of his generation. He travels all over the world and gives workshops and masterclasses with the major orchestras, music schools and is professor in Aarhus- Denmark where students from all over the world comes to study with him to improve their playing.
Get ready to be surprised of the extraordinary changes his methods and exercises will have on your own playing- being a brass/woodwind or even singer or string player.
It´s no exaggeration to say it will dramatically change your playing even after a few days work with these simple yet very efficient exercises.

The method outlined by Kristian should be de rigeur in all Conservatoires. So much "cods-wallop" is often taught, blinding with science, complicating the issue and totally counterproductive in result. The method demonstrated in this video coupled with the acquisition of the little ping pong ball machine demystifies the whole process. I have played the oboe for a very long time and can honestly attest to benefits that I have noticed in my own ease of sound production. Curiously my embouchure has benefitted most by becoming more long lasting as my breathing has become more focussed and efficient. Thank you from an old pro!! Geoffrey
Very useful breathing course material. The oboe bundle gives you a wide range of basic information. A good daily breathing warm-up program is also provided. Unfortunately, there is no written material so you have to take notes, unless you want to watch the videos over and over again. The oboe masterclass could give a bit more oboe-specific information.
Great masterclass. I recommend this to everyone playing a wind instrument. It really helps you building up good breathing habits. Definitely worth the money!
A great masterclass. It really helps you building up some good breathing habits, and helps you to understand the breathing fundamentals. The masterclass afterwards with Mozart's oboe quartet, proves how important breathing techniques is. Professionals, students or people just playing for the fun of it, can use these videos!
