Description

 * 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
