Oboe relatable scenario of the week....
"My hands are really hurting"
"Are you playing with tension in them? You shouldn't play with any tension in your body. Just relax."
"But, this is oboe..."

Dear students and community friends, a very near and dear friend of mine will be having a recital Friday, April 9th at FAC Recital Hall on WKU's campus. She is a phenomenal musician, and has a sound that is dreamy! I think if you can, you should go and listen to her play :)
