My way of playing the Bassoon

Techniques, tips, hints, and eccentricities!

This is where you find out how I play quiet bottom notes, find hints on slurring and on using your tongue - including double tonguing. I show how I count bars rest and my reed box. There is a page on how I get my reeds to work by measuring them and how I support my bassoon. I have a large section on fingerings for you to try.

If these pages don't help or you have any suggestions, send me an email.
