I wonder if there aren't a few different thoughts as to what I was getting at here. In my future, there is a possibility that with much work and practice on my part, I could teach the oboe to students. (My time frame is at least to be able to make reeds for my student, and right now I can't even make them for myself, so I think it may be some time before this happens). When I started the oboe, I had already advanced knowledge in Sax, Flute, and Clarinet, so I bypassed the books that help a student learn what a note and a rest are. Belwin makes books, but from my knowledge of learning the other instruments, I figured there were better books geared specifically to the oboist mind.
Right now (and I still have to get copies to check my sources), I'm leaning towards this progression:
1. Gekeler Method 1
2. Gekeler Method 2
3. Barret
I've also heard the Neimann Oboe Method is good, and maybe that would fit between the Gekeler 2 and Barret as an easier transition. As I say, I haven't gotten the books yet, I'm just trying to get a head start and if I decide to follow this path, I would like to give my potential students the study and respect they deserve.
