A Note from Maryn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hope you had a great fourth of July celebration. My family
sat around eating hot dogs and hamburgers and helping my little
dog Emma through the festivities.

Number one on her list of “doggie nightmares” is the fourth of
July fireworks. She prefers to spend the whole night hiding and
shivering under the couch.

No matter what you did yesterday, I hope you had a fun (and
relaxing) holiday.

Now let’s get to the good stuff…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Latest Reed Special
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Order the MKL Reeds Summer Fun Package and put a little fun into
your summer oboe practice.

Each kit includes:

-2 Oboe Reeds (Regular or Professional)
-1 “Sweet Treat” to enjoy during a practice break (don’t forget
to brush your teeth 🙂
-Get everything packed up in a fun tropical summer bag

The best part is, you can get all of this for the same price as
two reeds!

Take a look by visiting the link below.

The Reed Tip
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Keep your reeds safe during breaks in rehearsals and
intermissions at performances by always putting them in your
reed case when you go off stage.

Leaving them on your stand or soaking in water can lead to
accidental crushing or chipping, so take the time to put
them away before you go have your snack.

Oboe Reed Trivia
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Each week we feature a bit of oboe trivia to help keep your oboe
brains sharp. Sometimes the questions are easy, sometimes they
are not so easy.

Each Friday night, all of the correct answers we receive from all
of you are put into a hat and one lucky winner is chosen to
receive a special prize.

Congratulations to last week’s trivia winner, Grace
DeRose-Wilson!

Grace, just let us know via email where you would like your
prize sent.

Here’s this week’s question:

Which is better, a feather or a swab? WHY? (There’s not a RIGHT
answer here, what we’re looking for is a CONVINCING answer.)

Submit your answers via email to [email protected] by Friday at
5:00PM CST to be included in the drawing.

Good luck!

Thanks for reading. Until next time…

Happy playing,

P.S. If you don’t know how to make oboe reeds yet, your oboe
reeds are probably holding you back from reaching your full oboe
potential. Just getting the most basic reedmaking skills under
your belt will help you extend the life of your oboe reeds and
give you the control to tweak them to your exact needs.

If you knew that learning basic reed making techniques would help
take your oboe playing to a new level, when do you think would be
the best time to start learning?

Playing Oboe Reed… In 9 Days or Less” below…
