This is a really helpful video! I started playing the bassoon a little after you started your channel, and your videos have been such a motivation and a help to me as I'm trying to learn the bassoon kind of by myself. Thank you for making these videos! I'd love for you to make a video talking about good beginner pieces to play or maybe a video talking about some of your favorite bassoon performer, performances, or pieces. I'd love to get a bit more emersed in the bassoon repertoire outside of just the Weisenborn Etudes, and I just don't know where to start. 😊😊
This was extremely helpful! The idea that air has to be the first focus really clicked with me and I will remember then when playing. I tend to focus so much on the notes or rhythm. Thank you!
I've just recently decided to make bassoon playing a part of who I am! I am grateful for your channel, I suspect I'll be watching it a lot :) I also wish bassoons were less expensive
Yes. Music lessons can be costly. So make the most of them. And however much you are expected to practice before the next lesson, practice more than that. You WILL get out of it the work you put into it. And don't forget to have fun.
I must confess that I haven’t been listening to many bassoon players on recordings lately, though I know about some of them and have heard some of them in live performance. Although I appreciate their playing and overall tone, I have never strived to sound like them, for a) many of these bassoon players have much more experience than I have and b) each player has such a unique style of playing; consequently, it’s hard for me to say that I want to sound like that player. With that said, I liked the tips Dr. Law pointed out with respect to breathing. I have realised that some of my notes aren’t as free and relaxed as they should be because I haven’t been breathing properly (or my breath intake has been too shallow). The “who” breath will definitely be on my practice list from this point forward. This was an excellent video! Thank you to Dr. Law for sharing her valuable tips. (-:

not a bassoonist but a horn player but I like learning about other instruments especially wind instruments.

Another great video! Lots of good tips in this one. I especially liked what you had to say about being stressed about what you are playing.
Thank you for the hoooh analogy bc I’ve been trying to help my friend take in air correctly and I can’t figure out an easier way to explain it lol
I can imitate bassoon on my accordions and a harmonium and synrhesizers.
my problem is that my playing is so airy, i don't know how to fix it 😢
Have you had a chance to try sylverstiens synthetic bassoon reeds? i’d love to see you do a video on them
Hi from France. Could you tell me What is the music at the end of the video? Thank U
Nancy Galbraith’s sonata for bassoon/piano. One of my favorite solo pieces 🧡💛
Mem please make a vidio on cormatik scale
A few months in and I still sound like a tin can 😂
using a store bought or handmade reed?
@@Jwellsuhhuh on either, actually! I have a really easy factory reed that I learned on, and two Herzbergs and two my teacher made and adjusted for me!
That’s very normal after only a few months! Keep working and you’ll get it eventually!
I am new lurner basson
