Oboe

CLICK HERE TO SEE ESTELLE'S RECITAL.

 On May 26th, Estelle had her first "real" oboe recital at the Conservatory.  She played a piece called "Banana Tango", which she practiced in her lessons with her professor, Charlotte (whom you see in the video). 
Estelle also practiced at home, almost every day.  2 days before the recital, she got to go to the Conservatory on a Saturday and play with the accompanist on the piano.  He gave me a photocopy of the music to play so I could help Estelle practice. It was a challenge for me - it was hard to play!  He makes it look easy!  :-)
We were VERY proud of Estelle because Charlotte says Banana Tango is not an easy piece to play for someone who just started the oboe 9 months ago.
Estelle says "J'ai raté", which means "I made a mistake", but we told her mistakes are o-kay!
