Supply List
Learners will need to purchase two instructional books after the first class. These are: "Oboe Student", Level One (Elementary) by Blaine Edlefsen in collaboration with Fred Weber, Student Instrumental Course, published by Belwin - under $8.00 online "Tunes for Oboe Technic" Level One (Elementary) by Blaine Edlefsen in collaboration with Fred Weber, Student Instrumental Course, published by Belwin - under $8.00 online Learners will also need to have an oboe in good condition as well as an oboe reed. For reeds, I recommend the company, "Wildflower Reeds" online. These are are high quality reeds made completely by hand by an expert reed maker, and are well worth the price of $32.00. Having an excellent reed is a key part of playing with good technique and making a beautiful sound. An intermediate level, medium soft reed is a good place to start for most students.
