There are exercises in many method books which can direct the player's attention to the awkwardness of certain intervals or the difficulties in tonguing patters (I used Sellner in the 1050s, and used Barrett as well); but for developing a sense of phrasing and musical line, going to the oboe literature instead of using a method book, was my teacher's and my personal preference. There are some meaningfu,l musical etudes in Barrett, but many are not as worthy as our rich selection of concertos, sonatas, orchestral excerpts, etc.
