Instead of the oboe being the “ill wind that nobody blows good,” the oboe can become the “good wind that doesn’t make anybody ill.”

    Oboemotions uses Body Mapping to improve practice and performance.

Body Mapping proves that knowledge IS power--an accurate understanding of body, mind and movement will significantly improve one’s performance, and help avoid or overcome injury.

    This book is guided by the concept that the motions of oboe playing are just as important as the emotions of playing. In fact, developing an accurate understanding of the motions involved in performance will enable one to more clearly communicate the emotional range of the music.

     

    A definitive manual...enjoyable to read. There is so much enlightening information presented in this volume. I recommend it as a “must read” for the serious student and professional oboist. Even though it is intended mainly for oboe players, I also think that other musicians will find this book very useful, particularly other wind players.
