I. Chapter: On The Hautboy mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Of all the wind instruments in the orchestra of the 18th century, the Hautboy stands out the most.As the literal translation of the original french word 'Hautbois' indicates, it is the loud and high woodwind instrument.

Developing from the shawm at the end of the 17th century, the hautboy became one of the most favoured instruments of the Baroque era. To this day it continues to be used- now transformed into the modern oboe- in the symphony orchestra.

In the 60's it was rediscovered and brought back to life as the 'baroque oboe'. kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

This is only possible in a few universities and places are limited. In my case this means that I am one of 8 students, that have come from all over the world to Amsterdam to study this specialised and challenging art form with the master of the masters.

Our daily work consists not only of physically and mentally demanding hours of practice, but also endless reedmaking (building the mouthpieces) and decoding hieroglyphics (reading historical prints and manuscriptes).

III. Chapter: On Financial Mattershhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Instruments want to be bought. Many. In all sizes, colours and shapes.Landlords want money. A lot. Monthly.Cheese wants to be eaten. Regularely. With bread.Beer and coffee want to be drunk. In moderation. But still.This is all fine.

Unfortunately tuition fees also want to be paid, otherwise the music will stop.

And unfortunately the fees are not low and need to be supported.

IV.Chapter: On The Correct Choiceoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Is one better or worse offwith an unusual study?

Whatever - what still needs to be said: I cancelled my 'normal' life in Vienna,to take on this exceptional challenge.

Normal grant- no chance: Too old, study abroad, artist, already have a degree.But my former profession is not acceptedHere, which makes earning money alongside even more difficult than at home.

For three years I have been extremely careful with my money, so that now I can just about get by.For my final year it would be nice to at least be able to abandon the worries of my tuition fees.
