John Schroder was the second bassoon player of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra for 45 years until he retired. His wife, Julie, has also retired from playing and teaching the flute. Welcome to our website.
On John's side you can find out how he plays the bassoon, with techniques, tips, hints, and eccentricities! It may not be the best way or the way that you do it, but it is "My Way".
There is a fingering section which should be easy to understand since it is displayed graphically.
There are some quotes of conductors while rehearsing with the CBSO.
Where? is a picture guessing game. We show some photos that we have taken and have a guessing game with anyone that wants to play.
On Julie's side there is the story of her late father, Trevor Greenwood, who commanded a tank in the Second World War. He wrote frequent letters to his wife and also kept a diary which provides a unique view of the action.
People sometimes ask Julie for copies of her recipes and here she shares some of them so everyone can enjoy them.
On 28th July 2005 Moseley (where we live) experienced a tornado. Here are some pictures that we took of the aftermath.
