The Art of Oboe Playing is actually two books in one -- one part by Robert Sprenkle on playing the oboe; and another part by David Ledet on reed-making. Sprenkle was the renowned teacher of some of the finest oboists; among them Robert Bloom of the Rochester Philharmonic. Ledet has an exceptionally broad professional background; including assistant band director; teacher of oboe and theory; and administrator.

If you are a regular reader of her site; this book is still worth purchasing.This book explains techniques for the absolute beginner in a clear; concise manner; so anyone who is starting out with sewing can understand how to perform various techniques. If you are already familiar with sewing and refashioning; you can skip that chapter and dive into the projects.My favorite part about her book (and her site) is her projects result in timeless; classic and stylish pieces that are wearable for women of all shapes and sizes. The issue I have with most (not all) refashion books and sites are the projects are either too simplistic (using the same technique for the garment refashion); too "out-there"; or too confined to a particular demographic. If you have the same issues with refashioning sites and books; you WONT have that issue with this book or her site.This book also renders well on the Kindle Fire; so if you have a Kindle Fire and have had bad luck with how the how-to books show up on it; you shouldnt have a problem with this one because it works great on my Kindle Fire AND Kindle Fire HD.9 of 9 people found the following review helpful.
