What do you want to see from Bassoonist Problems?

Sorry I've been MIA. I graduated from school over a year ago now and I haven't really been super active with bassoon. I play in my city's community band and I teach bassoon lessons, but other than that, in not super active on bassoon.

I've been in a depressive slump since graduating and very unmotivated. Once this semester is over I am back to being without a bassoon (which sucks) and I'm trying to find a good model that's affordable. If anyone knows of anything and wants to send it my way, please do. I'd be super grateful.

Anyway, I may turn this blog into something still bassoon related but I'm not sure what. If any of y'all still follow me and are active, let me know what you want to see from me. I'd gladly take suggestions.

Thanks for the follows and support even though I've disappeared.

Finally found the plaque I lost. It mysteriously showed up today after weeks of being MIA.

Hey guys! So I just got asked to teach an incoming 6th grader who wants to get a head start on bassoon before school starts in August. I've never taught anyone outside of the college students in woodwinds class at my university. Do any of you have any experience teaching beginners and have any advice you'd like to share? I'm trying to put together a good starting place for her. It's been a while since I've had to really sit down and go over the basics. If you're new to bassoon, what helped you when you were starting? What would you suggest starting with?

When your bassoon is as tall as you are and you can put your cheek on top of it…

This packet was made for my senior level music education class this spring. I hope it helps someone.

For the Anon that was asking me about any tips regarding playing the bassoon. I hope this packet helps. It doesn’t have everything you need to know about bassoon, and the first few pages pertain to teachers, but I do hope that this helps. Let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you.

This lovely problem was brought to you by concert band rehearsal at my university today.
