Read my lecture recital document, "Teaching Bassoon Technique Through Sequenced Repertoire," here.
In the mood for something shorter? Check out my article, "Applying the Suzuki and Kodály Methods to Bassoon Instruction." In it, I lay out the foundations of a philosophy of bassoon instruction that emphasizes playing by ear and uses folk songs to teach fundamental concepts of technique and musicianship. Drawing from the philosophies of the established Kodály and Suzuki methods, I hope to show that teachers can expect all students to perform simple music with a high level of artistry.
