OBOE Interactive Fingering Chart

OBOE INTERACTIVE FINGERING CHART

Did you ever wish you had a reference teacher on their major instrument showing your oboe players helpful tips, suggestions, and troubleshooting advice on certain notes on the oboe? Or perhaps you also wanted an explanation of an alternate fingering or an example? Maybe you wanted someone to explain certain fingerings that are more favorable and why? For some notes that may have extreme tuning tendencies, would you ever want an expert helping your oboe students when needed? In addition, what if that expert was reinforcing proper fundamentals on each lesson? Watch this OVERVIEW DEMO VIDEO

Presenting the OBOE INTERACTIVE FINGERING CHART. This Google slides file can be shared/pushed out to students like a mini-website. Everything is set up to navigate with a touch screen or mouse clicks on a computer. Hint: on a phone, the visual aspect may be easier to navigate when holding it horizontally.

FEATURES:

• A page (slide) for each note in the oboe range fingering chart from low “B-flat” up to high “F” above the staff.
• A specific range is organized for ease of navigation by each register, plus an additional section dedicated to the “typical” first 5 notes taught.
• Each note (slide) displays the ideal fingering(s)
• Each note (slide) displays a picture of the note on the staff as well as the note name (including enharmonic spelling)
• Each note (slide) offers a sound sample of the note on the oboe (for reference or to practice matching pitch.
• Each note (slide) offers a mini-lesson help video. The fingerings and note-on-the-staff pics also appear within each mini-lesson video. The lesson videos are hyperlinked unlisted YouTube videos recorded specifically for this project. WATCH A SAMPLE MINI-LESSON
• For notes that may have a typical intonation concern. (Ie: “this note tends to have a sharp tendency”), there is a description arrow indicator next to the note on the staff.
• An additional set of extra mini oboe lessons addressing reed care, audio reed crowing exercises, different register tips, instrument carriage & identifying the mechanical key-work and proper playing posture
• A total of 34 video mini-lessons along with other visual material

PLEASE READ THE PUBLISHING INSTRUCTIONS FURTHER BELOW CAREFULLY TO BE ABLE TO CREATE A NON-EDITABLE WEB PRESENTATION OF THIS FOR YOUR STUDENTS TO PRACTICE WITH!

You can easily email the link to the students, or link it to whichever online student portal platform your district uses. Students can use a phone, tablet, or computer. (please note that it will act buggy if using an Apple magic mouse or magic trackpad with swiping/clicking)

Other Ideas:

• Have your beginners use the 1st 5 note lessons as a daily practice for the first 1-2 weeks
• Have your beginners use links for the 1st playing activities and tonguing practice in the portion of the extra lesson as a daily practice or use in band class with speakers day-to-day for section practice
• Assign a specific group of “new” notes or an entire register when needed for further along beginners or 2nd/3rd-year players as a home-help project/homework
• Use any material as a review for struggling students during class if they cannot keep up with note reading or have fundamental issues in certain ranges
