%0 Journal Article %T Necessity of Introducing Courses on Reedmaking in Oboe Education in Conservatories %A Ay£¿e Sezer %J - %D 2019 %X Oboe is a double-reed woodwind instrument and the reed is the most crucial factor that determines the tone quality. The reed is made of a material that is known as ¡°karg£¿¡± in Turkish. It takes many hours of delicate effort and skillful use of various tools to put the material in a form that an artist can play. Despite the significance of reedmaking learning in overall oboe education, there are not many studies on reedmaking pedagogy. In this study, I examine the previous dissertations on oboe reed, reedmaking and its education in Turkish Higher Education Council Thesis Center and Proquest database. I have sampled 15 dissertations from the resources. I have observed that although many oboe educationists acknowledge the crucial importance of reedmaking, reedmaking education is not a part of the curriculum in usic schools. There is a lack of literature and textbooks that educationists can refer to in this area whereas there is a strong need for a formal and generic curriculum in oboe reed education. My work is an attempt to help fill the gap in the literature, aims to draw attention to reedmaking education and initiate further studies in the field %K Obua %K Obua Kam£¿£¿£¿ %K Kam£¿£¿ Yap£¿m£¿ E£¿itimi %U http://dergipark.org.tr/konservatoryum/issue/46462/582594
