When you really want to learn how play the oboe5
My oboe studies have included some interesting, both good and bad, instructors. Two highlights of my life are my lessons with John Mack and Laila Storch -both former Tabuteau students. But, do to happenstance of life; I quit playing oboe in the late 80s. After grad school, I started playing again. But, there were no GREAT oboists in my Rural-American town to help me get back into shape. So, I needed to hear someone go over the basics, and put them into context of "the big picture." This CD gives you just that, the basics of how to play the oboe -with consistent fundamentals; and places those foundations into the larger picture of making music. While the recording quality is lacking, an actual miracle from the tape recorder used, the concepts are displayed and demonstrated so clearly. You can hear a desire and determination in Tabuteau's voice to make the oboe sing through every note. There is a reason why Tabuteau taught so many of the great American oboists, he knew how to teach.

The baseline tutorial for the art of the Americn School of Oboe 5
This was first available as an LP album but thanks to Boston Records this has been transfered to the CD format.

This is the nearest thing we have to a written explanation of how Tabuteau made his magic. My teacher Earnest Harrison passed these lessons on to me when I studied with him and to hear these lessons from the maestro himself reenforced the depth of understanding Earnest Harrison had from his training that Tabuteau passed on to him. This is still an aural teaching experience.

For every oboist that wants to really be an artist this is the absolute baseline for attaining that goal.

As my teacher told me, Robert there are a lot of good players too few artists. let this be the starting point of your musical experience.

I highly recomend this recording.
