Groovin' High Event
 
As part of my AHRC Fellowship I will be presenting Groovin’ High in the Piano Gallery at the Royal Academy of Music on Friday the 24th September from 2.30 to 4.00 pm. The event is free and open to the public. This is an event for composers and oboists as well as other interested parties.

I will be presenting my research into the top range of the oboe: ‘Top G’ and up!  I will explore ways of finding fingerings; offer suggestions concerning the techniques needed to perform in that range and of course some pointers concerning reeds.

There will also be a discussion for composers concerning writing in this range.

Oboists are invited to bring their oboes and have a go!

The title is taken from a great tune by Dizzy Gillepie - I liked the sentiment!
