Do It! Play and Teach is an innovative and comprehensive text for college secondary instrument courses or for any instrumental music teacher looking to master a new wind instrument. This spiral-bound book with accompanying CD is designed to develop the performance skills teachers need to provide students with exemplary instrumental models. “Focus on Teaching” bullets found throughout each book develop the pedagogical understanding needed to teach technical and musical skills to beginning and intermediate level students. Do It! Play and Teach also gives teachers the tools to assess their students’ technical and musical skills. From clear photographic models of embouchure, posture, instrument position, and hand position, to an artist-rendered CD of “Listen and Play” tracks, this series has the potential to transform both your music making and your music teaching.

Stimulated by my love of automata, this work for solo oboe takes its name from the invention of Wolfgang von Kempelen, who in the late eighteenth century constructed an extraordinary mechanical man powered by clockwork, dressed in a stylish Turkish costume and capable of playing chess. The chess player turned out to be a fraud but sparked many other thinkers and inventors to pondering what the possibilities of automation might be. In Hesketh's highly virtuosic work, the through-composed melody is subjected to a series of distortions by pulleys, cams, gears and cranks. There are also the onomatopoeic effects of winding up and whirring noises that add to the air of the mechanical.
