FLOBOE
ABOUT FLOBOE
This website was designed to help a flutist transition to the oboe.
​
If your teacher recommended you start the oboe, congratulations! It means they think you're pretty awesome. Playing the oboe requires a special type of person. Students that are highly motivated with a hard work ethic, a good ear, and are responsible make great "floboists." It also helps to have a sense of humor, since you will now become the subject of many jokes.
