Join the elite family of oboe players!

Tradition of Excellence Book 1 for oboe is the ideal method book for an entire band, or an individual.  Beginning oboists will find the easy-to-understand text and color-coordinated technique boxes helpful in each of the lessons.  The book introduces some of the oboe’s most common alternate fingerings, and places an asterisk above these notes to help beginning students learn when to use which fingering.  Each book comes with a DVD that displays recorded lessons, practicing tips, and visual examples of techniques specific to the oboe.  Kjos Music Company has been a leader in instrumental method books for years, but the new technology in Tradition of Excellence is second to none!
