Summary of This Sheet Music
This new 2012 edition of First Repertoire Pieces is intended for oboists wishing to progress further after completing "Learn As You Play," the method by Peter Wastall. Designed to support structured progress, this collection emphasizes the acquisition of solid automatisms, development of phrasing, and better control of dynamics, all through a selection of varied and motivating pieces.
The content is particularly relevant for students aiming at the 3rd and 4th grades : each piece serves as a comprehensive practice tool to refine intonation, articulation, breathing, and sound balance with the piano. The inclusion of many pieces used in exam pathways (ABRSM, Trinity Guildhall, LCM) makes it a reliable resource for building a program, preparing an audition, or enriching one's repertoire with works selected for their pedagogical and musical value.
Peter Wastall accompanies his selection with practice and interpretation tips, useful for organizing sessions, identifying passages to isolate, and understanding the musical intent. The edition with CD provides real convenience for practice: it includes instrumental demonstration versions as well as piano accompaniments, ideal for training tempo, timing, and harmonic listening, both in lessons and at home.
