i'm currently a viola player but i just have this deep (not so) hidden love of the bassoon and i really want to play it one day. i'm kind of scared of making the first move but this video was so insightful so thank you so much!
I am thinking about buying a bassoon, and this video just makes me want one even more. When I was in high school, I was playing clarinet and bass clarinet. Since I am retired and 67, I may be considered to be a late bloomer, but I’ve always loved the sound of the bassoon. Your lessons are easy for me to understand, and your pace is good. At the moment, my musical instrument collection is two clarinets, Selmer and Signet, a 3/4 scale Martin six-string guitar, and a Fender Precision Bass guitar. Thanks for the video!
I don't even play any woodwind instruments, I was a percussionist growing up then switched to guitar. But there something soothing about your teaching style. I love people who are passionate for what they do, and you clearly are. Keep up the good content, subbed.
I am starting the bassoon from scratch. I find the videos helpful for learning bassoon nomenclature and other basic particulars. There is much information to digest. Thank you.
I'm completely new to instruments in general, but I thought I should try and work the bassoon- it sounds so incredibly beautiful and I want to at least give it a try
I want to learn bassoon so bad. I already know how to play bass clarinet, bari sax, and tuba. Bassoon and bass trombone are the only lows I need to learn.
Because if you run a swab with a knot in it through a joint in the bassoon, you risk it getting stuck, which requires special equipment to remove! Not a fun situation.
Hello! I am struggling with my leg bumping into the bottom keys and making my low notes crack horribly. I bought a chest harness to mitigate the issue for now. I'm wondering if you tips about how to sit with and hold the bassoon. My thighs are large and in charge lmao 😂
Same girl! ☠️ I wonder if your bassoon might be missing a guard that prevents this issue - some student models miss this or it falls off. The bassoon should be able to sit against your thigh without issues. Feel free to email me to chat further about it!
Thanks for the great content, I'm looking forward to watching all your videos. I just picked up my bassoon rental today. I have never played a woodwind instrument So I am new to all of this. But I Like the sound of the bassoon and I am looking forward to jumping right in!

Thank you for the help!
I have never played the bassoon and I am switching from sax. I was just wondering if you could maybe make a video or explain, how should I practice?
Good idea! Thanks!
