An outstanding approach to the instrument and its music
Oboe: Art and Method is extraordinary in its accurate and clear insight concerning the instrument, technique, the player, performance, and career. This book is practical and useful, and readers will appreciate the author's accessible writing style. In addition, the value of the content reaches beyond the title. The sagacity of Chapter 12: Professional Behavior and Deportment is an example. I recommend Oboe: Art and Method for any oboe player or lover of oboe music.

excellent
I had the privilege of studying with Mr. Schuring I can say that his methods are presented here succinctly and clearly. His approach to playing the oboe, reedmaking, and overall musicianship made me a better oboist, musician and teacher. I highly recommend this book to oboists of all levels and their teachers.

A Terrific Book for any Oboe Player
Before I purchased this book I was having a lot of problems with playing my oboe. You know bad tone, reeds weren't working, and my breathing was all off. I was getting very frustrated! But, after I purchased this book and began to read it I learned things I had even knew I was supposed to be doing. For instance, I never knew that you were only supposed to have a millimeter of the reed in your mouth. I lot of the information is just common sense information that you just never think about. It has really helped me a lot and I've only had the book a week! I love the clear way the author wrote the book. It's so easy to understand and the way he explains things is outstanding! If you are getting frustrated and even thinking of quitting STOP! Get this book it will help you out immensely! And remember oboe is the hardest and most complicated instrument out there!

Product Description
In Oboe Art and Method, veteran oboe performer and instructor Martin Schuring describes in detail all of the basic techniques of oboe playing 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. Schuring's straightforward and articulate explanations of breathing, embouchure, finger technique, articulation, phrasing, and more help demystify the earliest stages of oboe playing and beyond. In addition, Schuring provides excellent advice on the "extra-musical"; practicing, instrument care and adjustment, professional development, and career development-related issues. The oboe is a notoriously complicated instrument, and this book aims to remove as much of the complexity as possible, to present techniques that work, and to discuss these in a clear-cut manner. Students who start with this book will learn with confidence that these methods will steer them straight down an effective path. A concise and eminently useful guide, Oboe Art and Method is a must-have for all who perform, teach, or are learning to play the oboe, in both conservatories and private instruction.
