Students focus on developing a secure technical ability and covering a wide range of solo, orchestral and chamber repertoire.
Tuition is offered on a one-to-one basis with a 30-minute lesson from grades I-V and a 60-minute lesson from grades VI-VIII.
All Bassoon students have the opportunity to participate in our orchestras, ensembles and chamber music groups when advised by their teachers. These provide an excellent and enjoyable support to the students’ studies.
It is recommended that Bassoon students spend at least 2 years studying Recorder as this will provide a thorough grounding in the basics of Bassoon technique. Priority is given to students who have come through the Gateway to Music Programme.
