Bassoon Lessons
Welcome to my podcast! This is a podcast for bassoon players. I hope it will be a resource for my own private students, and perhaps it will help those who do not have a bassoon teacher nearby or who are in need of help teaching the bassoon. For handouts related to some of these podcasts, please visit: http://www.wam.umd.edu/~efetters/bassoon.html.
Weissenborn Lesson IV Allegretto
(20 downloads)Download this episode (28 sec)
This is the second Allegretto in the lesson. This piece demonstrates what bassoon players have to do a lot: make it sound like there are two bassoons instead of one. Give more weight to the first note in every three-note grouping and back off the "F-E." Sometimes in lessons I will play this one with a students as a duet; I play the first note and the student plays the "F-E." Then, I have the student play all of it, while I continue to play the first note, giving it even more emphasis.
