Bassoon and Piano Lessons! Professional Bassoonist and Pianist, with 10 years+ of experience, and an orchestra background. Doctorate (D.M.A) degree from Rutgers University, USA. I work with students on several different aspects. It includes thorough practice, fundamentals, use of the speaker keys, tone with intonation, vibrato, use of the tuner and metronome, double tonguing, breathing, and articulation.  In addition, I assist students in selecting and modifying appropriate reeds. My curriculum focuses on goal-based sequenced learning targets in all aspects of music performance, music literacy, and fine arts integration. I recognize that each student is unique and that each student learns uniquely. I will ensure that the student not only learns and progresses but also has a good time. After all, music is supposed to be fun.
