About four months ago I switched to oboe, but
I''m still taking flute lessons. My teacher says that this will ruin my sound
and technique. So far, I haven''t had any problems and am doing quite well on
both instruments. Will playing another instrument really ruin my embouchure?

switching to a double-reed
it could potentially mess you up if you play
both of them at the same time. i tried playing the oboe once, but it was only
for a few days and i was just trying it out for fun. i think the embouchures are
different for each instrument, so it would take some adjustment between them. if
the transition is easy for you, i'd say it shouldn't be a problem for you..
but i don't have very much experience so my guess is as good as anybody
else's.
