Episode Two of Band Every Tuesday:

Band Director: The only person who can have stuff on their stand is the oboist because they have special equipment.

Me, the oboist: See flute? I’m special!

The flute player next to me: Sure. We totally don’t have the same parts but on different octaves!

Me: At least trumpet has my side!

Trumpet: Uh. No. Flute is scary. Have you seen them with a gavel?

Me: Nevermind. You win.

sometimes being an oboe player means yelling “NO THANK YOU” at your reed after playing exactly one (1) note

Richard Burdick's Fourtitude Four for Four For #Flute, #altoflute, #oboe & #BassClarinet Movement TWO

This, the second movement of this work is a "bittersweet" sort of work, that features the oboe. It has many similar but mostly subtally all different phrases that go from soft to loud. Soft to loud like a saw-tooth shape.

Just addressing the latest lies about me: No, I didn't call anyone an abuser. 🙄

The rumor mill is apparently running again

It's come to my attention someone has been claiming I called them an abuser. Just to set the record straight, here is what I believe is the comment I made in a discussion that included the classic "you can't prove DID is only caused by trauma" talking point.

Here's a link to a reblog to prove I haven't edited it.

I didn't accuse them of being an abuser. What I did say is that their talking point is designed to associate endogenic systems with abusers. And I stated the fact that it's emotionally manipulative.

It's the classic "think of the children" argument often employed by right-wingers, designed to shutdown critical thinking.

Art, Argument, and Advocacy (2002) argued that the appeal substitutes emotion for reason in debate. Ethicist Jack Marshall wrote in 2005 that the phrase's popularity stems from its capacity to stunt rationality, particularly discourse on morals.

This particular instance is based on a false premise that the only way to prove DID can only be caused by trauma is to traumatize children.

It's also directed at an audience of abuse survivors in a way likely to trigger fight or flight responses.

I am not saying this particular user intentionally is using that tactic either. I said the talking point was emotionally manipulative, not that they personally were. Often, people repeating talking points like these are pawns who just absorb what they're told uncritically and repeat it back to others. (Although, lying about what I said and claiming I called them abusive does make me think they're being emotionally manipulative too.)

The French Oboe Tutor Experiment

Let's say you want to conduct a study on children. You have a hypothesis that the only way children can learn to play the Oboe is to have a tutor from France.

So you gather 200 children. 100 kids make up the experimental group and are taught to play the Oboe by a French tutor.

The other is the control group, and they're not taught to play the Oboe.

By the end of the experiment, the entire experimental group learns how to play the Oboe. But none of the control group do.

Therefore, the researchers conclude that you can only learn how to play the Oboe by being taught by a French tutor.

Proving Causation Doesn't Prove an Exclusive Causation

It shouldn't be hard to see the problem. While "being taught by a French tutor" results in a 100% causation rate compared to the 0% of children who learned to play the Oboe in the control group, this doesn't tell the whole story.

The Oboe is an uncommon instrument to learn in the general population and a group of 100 not having Oboe players isn't remarkable. Alternative hypotheses weren't tested. What would the results have been with a group with a Russian Oboe tutor? With a Korean Oboe tutor? Could some kids learn from online lessons if instructed to?

Likewise, testing a trauma hypothesis of DID could certainly prove causation. But it's not going to prove exclusive causation. It can't show that other things wouldn't be able to cause DID in certain cases.

That requires testing alternative hypotheses.

Which is still unethical...

Again, we can't do that. We can't try to give someone a mental disorder in the name of science.

So neither this proposed study nor similar testing alternative hypotheses for causation can be conducted.

But I want to address the reason that responses to anyone mentioning how the DSM says DID is associated with trauma but doesn't have a requirement is met with this ridiculous talking point of "THAT'S BECAUSE PROVING IT'S CAUSED BY TRAUMA WOULD MAKE US HAVE TO TRAUMATIZE KIDS!"

Traumatizing kids doesn't prove that's the only way to form DID anymore than the French Oboe Tutor Experiment above would somehow prove you can only learn the Oboe from French tutors.

This argument is 100% an emotional manipulation tactic meant to equate any people questioning the science to wanting to abuse children. It's made to trigger emotional reactions and shutdown your critical thinking so you don't question it any further, or to shame you into silence by associating you with child abusers.

And it's made for a base who already hold this view, and for them, the argument just further reinforces why they shouldn't ever question their beliefs.

Keep thinking critically!

To those reading this, keep questioning what you read. Keep thinking critically about it. Don't blindly accept what you're told as fact. Especially when it comes to science. If an argument appears to be based more on stopping you from thinking, be sure to ask yourself why.

was thinking about this in my lesson this morning, how it’s really common for woodwind players to have multiple instruments. like i have two oboes in addition to my english horn but not even including other instruments like EH or d’amore, most oboists i know (especially professionals) will have two or three or more. i know flute and clarinets who’re the same way but i have no idea if it’s A Thing for string or brass players too

#sasha speaks #i know i have string player mutuals so i'm curious do you/your sectionmates only have one instrument? #like your primary instrument. i don't mean like a violist also having a violin i mean like a violinist having like two violins to choose #depending on the situation #like i Get It for something like clarinet cause both A and Bb parts are common so it's just useful to have both an A and a Bb insturment #(and in the case of cl i think A and Bb are close enough to be considered 'the same' for this post and not separate #in the same way that i'm considering oboe separate from EH and d'amore) #and obv if someone has an EH there a 99.9% chance they also have and play an oboe #but like. our principal flute in orchestra has at least two flutes not including picc #i have seen our new grad oboist with. at least three different oboes. modern* ones #(i've also seen him with at least one classical oboe and one of his 'modern' ones is from like. 1899 and has a pre-conservatoire key system) #(which is bonkers. it feels like holding a toy.) #plus i know he's got an EH somewhere cause i've seen reeds for it in his case #anyway. i have two oboes and an EH. i usually only play one of them unless it has a technical problem #so my second is more of a backup #but i definitely know people with different instruments they play in different halls/weather/for a different sound/etc #or an instrument with like a plastic lining in the top joint for outdoor playing or something #tldr it's really common for woodwind players in my experience to have multiple instruments and i wonder how common that is #for other sections. sound off in the notes ig #sorry i don't have polls yet so i have to get responses from you guys the old fashioned way still. #oboeposting

Schubert, Winterreise, Gergely Boganyi / Clara Dent-Bóganyi / Bence Boganyi, 2021

This is a Winterreise without a singer. Instead, there's two wind instruments playing the tunes. One is an oboe, the other a bassoon. They're married (no, really).

I love this version. It's not a secret that I'm a big fan of instrumental versions of anything, and this is no exception. I do think the dialogue between the two woodwind players adds something to it, maybe someone should try doing a version with two singers as well. Get an alto and a bass and just have one take over the melody in the middle of a sentence. I want to hear it.

The piano also sounds different from most recordings. Its sound is much more present, spread open as if autopsied. I usually complain about Winterreisen not being sad enough, and this one's really not sad at all - how could it be? Even the piano doesn't really get very emotional.

But I don't mind! It's the sort of mood that you usually hear in records of string trios and other things of that nature, and hearing "a cycle of horrifying lieder" played that way is fascinating.

How I found it: going through my woodwinds bookmarks

#instrumental winterreise #winter wednesday #this lady was a BSO oboe player at one point so I've probably heard her in person although not on purpose

I CANT DECIDE IF I SHOULD BE A

music major or not

#apparently demand is super high for bitches like me (oboe player) (i actually Know how to play it) (extremely autistic #adn my teacher is like you could get scholarships literally anywhere theyre looking for bitches like you! And like #i dont like the idea of jsut continuing school right away next fall id rather learn how to live fierst #BUT my grandma and father both majored/minored in music and Goddd it sounds so fucking fun. music theory is innate to me so itd just be like #playing toys: the major #BUT i dont wanna go to college until at least a year off school. idc if that makes it less likely to get into a decent place

A Hot Boi playing a Hautbois

(Yes, I know it is pronounced "au bwah" but don't tell me that doesn't look like it would sound that way)

every once in a while i listen to classical music again and change my mind every ten to twenty seconds which wind instrument ia objectively the best instrument of them all

#sorry to string players but i am heavily biased #anyway strongest contenders are oboe bassoon flute french horn and trombone #it's always a delight to hear these guys #spike spoke

[aspiringfictionwriter]

Ok, now that the school year is ending and my life is getting more boring, do you know what I’ve been doing? Finding music on google to play on the oboe! I’m so proud that I can just read the music that I look up.

I’m in nerd heaven, and I figured I’d share with you some stuff I found (flutes can read off oboe music and apparently I can read from violin music which makes no sense.) Have fun!

vital question if sokka was in a band would he play trombone or clarinet

#like he has the same vibes as literally every other trombonist ive ever met. but also he has hte same vibes as that guy you know who plays #clarinet & is like. you know that vid of the brass players playing a song & the clarinetist doing the percussion in the back. that guy #zuko would play french horn thats like a given. i think aang would absolutely blast on the tuba or play like. oboe #katara is Def a flautist & toph would have so much fun on percussion. but sokka... hes a versatile guy. cant pin #him down instrument-wise

[hothautbois]

If we’re sticking with a French theme in your url, then why not have it be “Hautehaubois”?

I don’t speak any French, hautbois is the French word for oboe and my url is hothautbois because hautbois pronounced with a terrible American accent sounds like hot boys

#cause oboe players are hot boys (gender neutral) 😎 #yeah it’s a bad joke

[greenbabyofficial]

why do you, as a man, play the oboe

#sorry to all oboe players i’m just being silly

[roseband]

okay so for like a month i've been fumbling around with the audio recording system i bought in audacity

it came with ableton for free i'm sooooo mad at myself for not realizing ._.

also omg normal music sounds so much better coming through an actual amp interface from the computer instead of plugged direct into the computer headphone jack

#personal #clarinet quartet cover of i wish i wasn't me coming soon <3 #(i have the arrangement done already btw!!!) #finally getting myself together to do this lmao #also i'm only in band once a week now and i literally NEED someplace to play my other instruments #like i ONLY play bass clarinet (and regular clarinet in the summer) but what about my flute and my saxes and my picc and my bass guitar #they deserve love too #my instruments have personalities and feelings and names they're like...... they're too human to be in a drawer #(i feel like i sound as deranged as sammy does with skylar and brittany lol) #i don't do community theater anymore bc they a) stopped paying ?????????? like bitch tf i'm not dragging a cart of instruments #in an uber or asking my mom to drive me w/o pay if ur expecting me to play a reed 2/3 book???? #like they can't find winds players for no pay and i WONDER WHY like #we literally have to bring like .....5-6 instruments w/ us to play in a pit??? #i played a book that was primarily bass clarinet but also had picc/flute/tenor and alto saxes/regular clarinet and oboe??? #like i'm not trucking that shit to outer queens for free my guys that's SEVEN instruments and 2 (b clar +t sax) are heavy #and b) the theater ppl don't treat us well.... my mom stopped doing costumes for two of the three theaters she did for #(like for fun as a community theater thing/hobby) cause they didn't treat her nicely as a seamstress either #LITERALLY I MISS HIGH SCHOOL NOT IN A PEAKED IN HS SORT OF WAY #BUT IN A I WAS IN BAND 6-7 DAYS A WEEK SORT OF WAY #LIKE I MISS THAT MUCH BAND????

[supercantaloupe]

i honestly wouldn't blame you if you think this is contradictory given how much bitching i've done about this opera over the past month but i do genuinely enjoy playing pit...like i WANTED to play this show (well not this one specifically but i Did want to play Something this semester) i wish we were playing a show with a more interesting story or wind parts but I am for the most part just happy to be here and playing. my native habitat is the pit i am but a humble cave dweller etc etc

#sasha speaks #serse is not a great opera but it is An Opera That I Get To Play so it's better than nothing y'know #at least i'm playing Something before i graduate #(also i've more or less given up on the baroque oboe. lol. i'm just playing the part transposed on modern oboe now. way less stress) #(and i'm not wasting 100% of my time here cause i have hw to work on while i'm tacet tonight) #i know a lot of players who find pit to be an annoying tedious necessity but. idk. i like kt #i have always liked it. even when i was student music directing in high school and it Sucked Major Shit lmao #i hated it but i still kept coming back to do it again. cause i enjoy it! idk #i like playing and i like theater. idk #i wanna talk about me

[srijellyfishtempura]
