Starter Solos for Oboe – 20 Progressive Pieces with Piano Accompaniment

Philip Sparke’s hugely popular Starter Solos are now available for oboe! This collection of 20 solos starts with pieces based on only a handful of notes and carefully introduces new musical elements, such as articulation, dynamics and key signatures, in a structured progression to speed the learning process. The books provide invaluable additional material to complement any teaching method. Starter Solos comes with an online audio access. The advantages of playing either with piano or audio accompaniment are that the beginning player can now experience the important aspects of ensemble playing from their earliest lessons, thus developing the essential skills of listening while they play and maintaining strict tempo, which is not always a factor when playing alone.
