If you are a "first-timer," here's how it works:

Go to each item you want and click on the "add to cart" button. As soon as you add the first item, a "Shopping Cart" box will appear on the right sidebar with a list of items selected.
Anytime you want to review or change your choices, go to the right sidebar and click on the words "Shopping Cart" to see what you have put in it so far. Keep doing this until you are satisfied.
When you are ready to check out, click on the "checkout" button and fill in the information as requested.

Marcel Tabuteau: How Do You Expect to Play the Oboe If You Can't Peel a Mushroom?" by Laila Storch. Special offer: Free shipping by Media Mail to addresses in the U.S.!

"[Storch's] personal descriptions of what it was like to study with this mercurial genius are absolutely fascinating; they provide indispensable glimpses for this generation of oboe students, not to mention future ones." —Dan Stolper, Oboe Instructor, Interlochen Centre for the Arts

"Ms. Storch's style is descriptive, informative, and engaging- a nice blend between the historical and the personal. This volume gets my vote as the winning historical profile of one of the most influential and revered performers and pedagogues of our time-Marcel Tabuteau. A must for every serious musician's library."—Linda Strommen, Professor of Oboe, the Jacobs School of Music, Indiana University

"Laila Storch is a world-renowned oboist in her own right, but her new book honors Marcel Tabuteau, one of the greatest figures in 20th-century music. Tabuteau studied the oboe from an early age at the Paris Conservatoire and was brought to the United States in 1905, by Walter Damrosch, to play with the New York Symphony Orchestra. Although this posed a problem for the national musicians' union, he was ultimately allowed to stay, and the rest, as they say, is history. Eventually moving to Philadelphia, Tabuteau played in the Philadelphia Orchestra and taught at the Curtis Institute of Music, ultimately revamping the oboe world with his performance, pedagogical, and reed-making techniques.

"In 1941, Storch auditioned for Tabuteau at the Curtis Institute, but was rejected because of her gender. After much persistence and several cross-country bus trips, she was eventually accepted and began a life of study with Tabuteau. Blending archival research with personal anecdotes, Storch tells a remarkable story in an engaging style." —Indiana University Press

Laila Storch is Professor Emerita of Oboe at the University of Washington School of Music.
