Other Information

• Private instruction is highly recommended for all bassoon students. Our private bassoon instructor will be giving lessons during the regular school year, but if you would like to get a head start during the summer, you may contact Mr. Richter at robertrichter1945@gmail.com and rent a bassoon over the summer from Crownover for private lessons.

• The Bocal Majority Summer Camp is highly recommended for beginning band bassoon students. Study with professionals who will teach you the basics of playing your instrument!
