Abstract This book is an attempt to illuminate and to help solve some of the problems that confront oboists and their teachers. The principal points of discussion are "how" and "why" various factors contribute to or interfere with effective playing. This is two books in one: the first part by Robert Sprenkle is on playing the oboe, and the second part by David Ledet is on reed-making. Sprenkle was the renowned teacher of some of the finest oboists, among them Robert Bloom of the Rochester Philharmonic. Ledet has an exceptionally broad professional background, including assistant band director, teacher of oboe and theory, and administrator.
