Oboe Sight-Reading 1 Vol. 1 - A fresh approach

* An approach based on self-learning and recognition of rhythmic and melodic patterns * Original tunes rather than abstract sight-reading exercises * 195 carefully graded pieces in a range of musical styles * Eight sections related to the technical development of the oboist, with tunes using three notes to tunes with a range of nearly two octaves, from low D to high C * Each section concludes with a set of duets and accompanied pieces for practice of ensemble sight-reading * Tunes progress to all key signatures up to two sharps and flats * Preliminary towards grade 5
