In my 26 years as a collegiate instructor, I have had the wonderful opportunity to interact with a large number of bassoonists at various ages and stages of development. The goals of this clinic are to provide solutions to the most common challenges on the bassoon, and also to give music educators the confidence to identify, diagnose, and assist their students, leading to happy bassoonists and conductors!
