The material in the Gekeler Method for Oboe is divided in two parts. The studies in Part I are for the purpose of developing musical style and interpretation; those in Part II are for the study of scales and intervals, and for improvement of articulation.

The first in a series of three new Kalmus publications by A.M.R. Barret, the Complete Oboe Method, long a standard text for oboists, will ensure ease of play for advancing oboists. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.

(Elementary Method). One of the most widely used series of methods for individual or like-instrument class instruction. Using a very well-rounded approach including scales, arpeggios, technical studies, studies for musicianship, articulation studies, solos, duets, and studies devoted to the special needs of each instrument, this series provides a fantastic wealth of material for all student musicians.

In Oboe Art and Method, veteran oboe performer and instructor Martin Schuring describes in detail all of the basic techniques of oboe playing (including breathing, embouchure, finger technique, articulation, and phrasing) and reed making, with expert tips and step-by-step instructions for how best to perform each of these tasks with grace and technical efficiency.

Sixteen Grand Studies for Oboe is the third book in our A.M.R. Barret reprint series. Newly engraved, it provides excellent supplemental material for the student or professional oboist. These studies were originally part of the Complete Oboe Method. Kalmus Editions are primarily reprints of Urtext Editions, reasonably priced and readily available. They are a must for students, teachers, and performers.

This First Book of Practical Studies is designed to develop chord consciousness and to provide additional experience in the fundamental rhythms, key signatures and articulations and to improve accuracy in reading through the use of interesting and melodic studies. It may be used either to supplement or to follow any beginning method book.
