"YOU CAN ACQUIRE THAT BEAUTIFUL TONE LOVED BY SO MANY"

When played well the oboe is one of the most beautiful of all instruments. However, when played less than well it can be positively painful to listen to. Good technique gives us the control to bring the best out of the instrument and produce that lovely tone which will impress all those who hear it. It is that control which is at the heart of this e-book.

Understanding of why we do things in a certain way is an essential part of the learning process. This e-book will explain everything you need to know with clarity and humour.

"YOU CAN LEARN TO MASTER EVERY TECHNIQUE"

The book contains sections on everything from acquiring a good posture to, what I call, the secret of oboe playing, - that is the balance between the embouchure and the diaphragm.
You will learn the ‘Six Steps’ of oboe playing and receive advice on issues such as control of the high notes, tonguing technique and the development of a good hand shape.
Whether you are a student, player or teacher, the information in this e-book is essential reading.

"TAKE THE STRESS AND STRAIN OUT OF PLAYING"

To many young players especially, the oboe is stressful and hard work. By applying the techniques outlined in this book, the muscles will be trained to cope with these difficulties making the instrument much less tiring to play. It is all a question of which muscles do what! If the wrong muscles are being used then problems are bound to ensue. This is especially true if smaller, weaker muscles are being used to do work which should be done by bigger and more powerful muscles. You wouldn't try to pick up a large bucket of water with one little finger, - I hope!
