Oboe Method

By Giuseppe Prestini

Excellent etudes for before the Barret, Ferling, and Gillet. Short and to the point. Variety of articulations. Note patterns not insanely repetitive, in other words, one must think. Six melodious etudes for each set of keys (major and relative minor), which are varied and interesting. Etudes not overly long, so...

they are short enough to maintain the student's interest until perfected. Highly recommended!

Honestly, it is okay. I was asked to purchase it by my teacher and had it not been mentioned I probably would not have bought it. There are so many other better etude books that can really challenge a player musically like the Ferling studies or Vade Mecum etudes. If...

you are looking for short exercises to kind of help technique you would like this book. Although if you are looking for technical difficulty I recommend the Gillet studies.. They are killers.
