How is the oboe played in a orchesta?
In an orchestra an oboe is part of the woodwind section. The technique is no different than at any other time you play the oboe. Orchestras divide instruments produced by blowing sound through a tube into brass and woodwinds. Brass instruments: trumpets, trombones, etc., at one time were all made of brass. Woodwinds were made of wood, or used a reed, or blew across a hole. Thus, a silver flute is a woodwind. Ravel put a sax in an orchestra in the woodwinds.
Is the oboe an instrument of the woodwind group?
Yes. It is also one of three surviving double-reed woodwinds in existence today.
What is the hardest guitar style to learn?
Oboe or violin. Oboe is definitely the hardest wind instrument and violin is definitely the hardest string instrument. I had a violin teacher from Russia and she said "In America the hardest instrument to play is the oboe. But in Russia the violin is the hardest instrument to play." I lean towards violin not just because I play it but if you think about it all you have to do with the oboe is learn the fingerings and the breath....(which does take a long time to get right). In violin you have to learn a lot of different fingerings and and they do not have keys you have to learn how to put your fingers on in the correct place. Violin also just has a lot of music written for it. (more than oboe). But it is a still a matter of opinion. I've played the Oboe for a year, and now the bassoon-both double reed instruments. I actually think bassoon is much harder, although they're both double reeds, bassoon is a much bigger instrument, and requries a lot of patience, and a lot of musical ability. I don't know about the violin though!
Is the oboe more difficult to play than the french horn since oboists have to make their own reeds?
Both the oboe and the French horn are both particularly difficult instruments. The fact that an oboist has to make his own reeds doesn't make it harder, but unless he's a good reed maker, he'll be unreliable. Oboe playing depends so much on the quality of the reed that you have to be very good at making them. I can't tell you much about the French horn but I think it's quite hard to place the right note before playing it, the oboe doesn't have this problem.
Should you play a flute or oboe?

Why is the flute the odd one out in the woodwind section?
Unlike other woodwinds, you hold a flute sideways to play it. Most woodwinds are held in front of the musician when being played.
What other instruments are in the same section as the flute family in the ochestra?
The flute is somewhat unique in that it is a woodwind without a reed. The closest similar instrument is the piccolo, which is played the same as the flute but is smaller and pitched one octave higher. Flutes are classified as woodwinds; other woodwinds include the clarinet, saxophone, oboe and bassoon.
What is an oboe's role in the orchestra?
Typically two oboists play in the orchestra; with the 2nd oboist doubling on English horn when needed. Some larger professional Symphony Orchestras (like the Chicago Symphony Orchestra). Have a dedicated English hornist, that can double second oboe, or play the rare third oboe part in a pinch.

What is the odd one out the oboe the trumpet the clarinet or the flute?
Actually the oboe belongs to the woodwind family of instruments. I'm not sure what the question refers to specifically. The trumpet is a brass instrument and the clarinet is a woodwind, so in that sense the trumpet could be considered the "odd one". However, these three instruments can sound absolutely wonderful together in a small wind ensemble. They can also be complimented nicely by piano accompaniment. So please don't count the trumpet out just because it's a brass instrument and the other two are woodwinds. the oboe because it is a string instrument and the rest are not
Who composes the oboe?
An oboe is an instrument, and a composer writes music. Therefore, no one "composes the oboe," because that is impossible.
