Bassoon

We are limited to beginning 2-4 students.  Bassoon is a solo instrument. Bassoonists relish the chance to be heard on their instrument. Bassoonists demonstrate an immediate ability to “hear” pitch and match pitch by ear. Due to the nature of this instrument, Bassoonists are expected to practice patience, perseverance, and positive attitudes. It is an advanced instrument. Larger hand spread, nibble thumbs, and NO underbite work best for learning Bassoon. Bassoon players tend to be diligent with school work, and have a “do it until I can’t get it wrong” attitude. 

​

PRIVATE LESSONS are REQUIRED for this instrument.  Playing this instrument requires a 3 year commitment to band. 

​

LISD provides the instrument for an annual fee of $100.  Students must provide the recommended reeds.
