Workout for Oboe- Levels 1-3

Workout is a study book with a difference, designed to make practising technical work as much fun as possible, whilst helping to develop aural, sight reading and musicianship skills, together with a firm grounding in understanding keys and notation. Organised in Major/Minor keys up to two flats/sharps, it contains 24 two- page ‘workouts’ progressing in difficulty through the levels. Each workout consists of a unique set of very catchy repetitive exercises, the relevant scales/arpeggios, short key-based melodic exercises and a final study, which has been given a title, words and mood indications to facilitate musicality and fire the imagination. Finger exercises come with rhythmically and musically engaging downloadable backing tracks, which help to encourage a strong sense of pulse, whilst making work on fluency and stamina a really enjoyable, musical experience.
