Exercises employing the glissandi described are throughout the book, beginning with very simple exercises and culminating in exercises that include glissandi, both ascending and descending, covering the full range of the oboe.

The book includes exercises for practicing each double-trill, exercises for practice combining various double-trills, and exercises that employ a wide variety of double-trill skills, beginning with the simple and culminating with the elaborate.
