The Excellent Oboe Music Theory Book 1 is only for oboe players! Follow the oboebods through the book as they take you on a cheerful, progressive journey through reading treble clef, note values, time signatures, key signatures, scales, intervals, musical symbols, terms, and much more. With clear explanations, plenty of easy (and trickier) exercises, puzzles, regular checks so you can see how you’re doing, and interesting oboe facts and information. This version has UK musical terms (semibreves / minims etc). The same book but with US terms (whole notes, half notes etc) is available in an alternative version. All examples and exercises are in treble clef. Ideal for beginner oboe players young and old, covering all you need to know for grades 1 and 2 oboe. Answers are available on the Secret Oboe Page at our website. Details are in the book The Excellent Oboe Music Theory Book 2 carries on from Book 1 and takes you through the theory behind Grades 3-5 oboe and includes a fascinating musical history relating especially to the oboe.

I have all of them! I'm an oboe and double bass teacher (I know!) based in Dublin, and I am very much a Christmas enthusiast. I'm known among my students for wearing Christmas socks 365 days a year (they've checked!!) I've taken on some double bass students this year, and I'll be buying your double bass Xmas duets to play with them. Given the brilliance of the oboe books, I'm really looking forward to it. Many thanks and keep up the good work! Eimear Hello - I love the arrangements We just played some today! Have a lovely Christmas and thanks for providing beginner bassoonists with some great music!! Pauline Hi there! I have been wishing for a long time there was such a thing as instrument specific theory books, and now I've found them. I intend to get your whole selection of flute books- they are excellent. I just wanted to tell you how great I think your books are! xxx Janine The children are loving the books! Particularly my little violinist who needs a fair amount of encouragement to get practising but he’s so excited about Christmas that I can’t stop him sight reading his way through the carols... !! Clare Your music books are great for beginners and improvers and the duet books are very well constructed. Ellen May I say how pleased I was to find that you now produce a piano accompaniment to go with the flute/clarinet parts. I already have your flute/clarinet music which is proving to be most useful and now that I have the piano part it will make our playing even better. Many thanks. Sylvia I am loving your books.
