Performance and Analysis
This instructional DVD presents the start-up details for oboe instruction in an interactive format. It is designed for non-oboist teachers as well as beginners on the instrument. Clear verbal, visual, and audio examples take the mystery out of how the oboe works and what one must know and do to play it well. Louie Hall's techniques for the teaching of beginning oboists have proven very effective, and are presented in a most comprehensible way. Learn everything from assembly to embouchure, hand positioning, breathing, playing high and low, tricks for finger action and more. This chapter-by-chapter approach will help any teacher or student through the challenging first steps.

Four Custom Mutes
These unique timpani mutes were originally designed for "March" from Elliott Carter's Eight Pieces for Four Timpani. They attach to the counter-hoop of the timpani and are quickly, easily, and quietly flipped up or down with the timpani mallet. The mutes' sizes are proportional to a standard set of four timpani. If you are purchasing the set of two, you will get the two middle sizes. Click on the animation to see the mutes in action.
