Hi,

Do you have a private teacher? And I suppose you`re in college. But incase you have no help from outside, a very vague idea would be buy a J. Weisenborn book * i think that`s spelled correctly* The book takes you from the first day you pick up a bassoon to All Sate levels...very good book.

Good luck with bassoon,
Bob

I would use the Weissenborn book.
Good luck with the Bass clef, I remember switching from flute a gazillion years ago....
Then`s theres the Tenor Clef....... good luck!


Buy a good reed!
