Abstract
Marcel Tabuteau was a French-American oboist who is considered the father of American style oboe playing. Every oboist invested in music should know his name, but as time passes, oboists hear less about Tabuteau and more about his students: John Mack, John de Lancie, Robert Bloom, etc. The students of Tabuteau’s students are even more well known today: Richard Killmer at the Eastman School of Music and John Ferrillo at Juilliard just to name a couple. Even though most oboists may have heard Marcel Tabuteau’s name, few know just how revolutionary he was to the pedagogy of American oboe playing, and even fewer know why there is a split between European and American style playing. Oboists may know of the different styles of playing, and the most noteworthy differences (reeds and tone being the most obvious difference), but the understanding stops there. This essay will delve deeper into the how Tabuteau shaped the American school of oboe playing and why oboists need to learn about Tabuteau.
