Rubank Elementary Method - Oboe (Rubank Educational Library)

As someone who took a year of lessons during my sophomore year of high school, around 12 years ago, but did play the flute for many years prior to that, this book made picking the oboe back up so much easier! I've always used Rubank books for the flute and when I dabbled with the bassoon, and probably back when I started on oboe, too. So, I haven't touched a woodwind in 12 years, but between a tuner to make sure that I'm playing the right note (it turns out that my first reed was too soft, so nothing would get me in tune), this book has helped bring me back to speed. I can't wait to move to some solos and the Intermediate Method book!

This is great whether you need it for a requirement in a class or just for your personal collection.

An excellent book for beginners -- gives the notes and music that is PERFECT for a beginner such as myself. It was recommended by my excellent Oboist teacher!!

You can't beat the Rubank music methods! The music is so beautiful!

Rubank is still the best method books on the market. No nonsense and no dopey pictures/illustrations.

Excellent book series for any beginning instrumentalist. It’s been around for a long time now, and still works well!

This book is an excellent beginner book for the high school and older Oboe player.

Started using this book. I love the progression of each page so you are never too content. PS I started learning oboe about 6 months ago.

I got this along with the other ones in the series. It helped out, as long as the kiddo did his practicing.

recommended by the Oboe instructor.
