The primary purpose in presenting this method for publication was to make available a book that did not progress too rapidly for beginners, one that taught proper oboe fingerings, and one that presented logical progression of rhythmical problems. Includes fingering chart for the conservatory system oboe.

Robust Start for Advanced Beginners,
By
This review is from: Gekeler Method for Oboe ~ Book Two (Paperback)
This is an excellent beginning method book for students just taking up the oboe. It is especially good for students who have already had some experience with other instruments, since it progresses relatively quickly. Nevertheless, Gekeler does provide some introductory practice in musical notation, time signatures, and rhythms for students who have not studied music extensively before. There are exercises and short pieces in 4/4, 3/4 , cut time, 6/8 and 3/8, with whole notes through sixteenth notes, dotted eighth-sixteenth combinations, and syncopation. Key signatures are covered through 4 sharps and 4 flats. Basic fingerings are taught for notes from low B below the staff to high D above the staff. The alternate forked F fingering is also taught almost from the beginning, as well as an alternate fingering for D#. Dynamics and intonational cues appear throughout the text, but grace notes, trills, turns, and other fancy stuff are not introduced. Duets appear frequently amongst the study pieces; many are written such that the lower part requires slightly more advanced technique than the upper. In addition to technical exercises and etudes, there are short melodies by composers such as Hohman, Dancla, Czerny, and Schubert. Even on pages that are primarily devoted to introducing some new rhythmic pattern, there are always a few passages that the musically experienced beginner will find worthy of practice. Overall the book provides a varied and challenging introduction to the instrument. Methodical use of the book, together with daily practice, will enable rapid skill development.

Gekeler's Book is great,
By "marks4011" (Riverside, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gekeler Method Oboe 1 (Paperback)
I found this method book to be quite efficient in increasing my ability to play the oboe at the beginning to intermediate level. It has great exercises to help oboists improve their intonation and of course, the more you practice, the more stamina you'll acquire. Great book

This review is from: Gekeler Method Oboe 1 (Kindle Edition)
I downloaded this book onto my kindle dx and the music is easy to read on it and the fingerings are also easy to read but if you do not know what the keys are called then that can be difficult.
