Avoid anything that says 'band' anywhere on its cover... :P
Band methods are the bane of my existence as a teacher of C instruments!
I was recommended the Gekeler Method...its not too bad. B&H's Learn as you Play Oboe is used in the program I teach in, which is fine if your student is not learning oboe as a first instrument...goes much too fast if they are.
I am extremely fond of the Abracadabra series of wind methods...I use them for ALL instruments. Great tunes, note-by-note progress in a logical order, lasts 2-3 years of learning, quite a few duets and a backing CD. The only downside for you, Drew, is that they are hard to access here (Amazon your best bet) as they are from the UK, which also means that British rhythm terms are used (which is great for an Aussie like me...but I just write the American names next to them when I teach students here).
