He's accent is magnificent, he is an amazing musician and he's good looking. How much better can this man get?

[@Vpmatt]

The first 30 seconds of watching this makes me think this guy would be a great teacher. I think his tip of playing it in chunks, even the first two notes alone, is a great one for any piece on any instrument.

[@ziomatthewbari3300]

Yeah, I play the piano and recorder and this was an excellent video even for me.

[@TheophilosPorter]

I like how the default is to have captions on. Because that's who watches bassoon master classes--the deaf. "[spirited playing]" is very useful.

[@Bobaloo92]

I want more of these master classes! His technique is so clean and beautiful! Thank you.

[@ScottSoundsStudio]

Man.. I'm not a bassoon player, or even a concert instrument player, I'm a metal guitarist... But I have a great appreciation for classical music and instruments like this. Very talented and keeps a great tone at all times. I love it!

[@PatMehiney]

I love how after he plays the opening bars of the marriage of figaro, he just stands there for a second like a boss before he starts talking again 2:57

[@kas8970]

If you don't play bassoon you won't truly understand that this man is great at bassoon. He is where he is because he is great. Bassoon is horribly difficult to get to a point where performing on bassoon is even possible.

[@djmotise]

Wrong.

[@edwardmontoya50]

Beautiful expressive musicality. Lovely clear tone with perfect articulation.

[@Firestar3440]

The moment that I first picked up a bassoon, I absolutely fell in love with it

[@fungling7982]

hi have u stopped playing it?

[@cricksol]

yeah hows it going

[@KaiTehNinjaGuy]

So talented, and Joost is so dreamy!

[@frdrcksncn]

@kas8970 In my opinion, I think wind instruments are the hardest to play. As a string player, I have respect for every wind instrument players, regardless of their "level" or how good they are. Just like any other instrument, it takes serious dedication and motivation (as cheesy as that sounds).

[@Thecrazykielbasa]

His tone is AMAZING!!!

[@TessPoem]

Wonderful playing and great teaching.

[@DartSlinger]

Fantastic video! I came hear just to see what a bassoon sounds like, but your information on heavy and light rhythm is helping me a lot with my whistling.

[@jobo451]

I play bassoon and within a year of playing I was moved to Symphonic band because we need one :)

[@petervanderveer9243]

Hartstikke leuk Joost. Groeten van Adrine en Peter uit Den Haag.

[@HandwhistlerBen]

Beautiful tone, technique and wonderful demo!

[@ILoveTakeThat5]

and he plays the bassoon very well. i love this instrument!

[@philipthomey7884]

i bet he's a great teacher. easy to listen to and i love the accent.i watch him every day to calm down and get my mind in order. he's a pleasure

[@thedivinity24136]

I'm in 9th grade right now and play the Saxaphone for marching band. I'm excited to be switching to this for concert season.

[@zhria0828]

Extremely Talented!!

[@hautboisdmoncoeur]

Vous êtes, Cher Joost Bosdjik, un excellent Pédagogue. Mon professeur de Hautbois au Conservatoire, me faisait progresser de la même façon que celle que vous suggérez dans votre vidéo. C'est ainsi que l'on acquiert une bonne technique. Magnifique votre Timbre. Dans SHEHERAZADE... Merveilleux ! Bravo & Merci à vous !

[@aiyvon]

I just started playing today, I was a two year oboist :D But I just fell in love with it.

[@davelibros1]

Thanks! Really lovely.

[@mobubabe]

Yes hes good, pauses after each playing like he had an ortgasm. That's very very cool that he's so passionate about theese melodies.

[@tsale8670]

Thank you Joost

[@ziomatthewbari3300]

Wonderful

[@kakikokua]

Oh, I liked this so much (both bassoon and bassoonist, I must say). Congratulations for being capable of that, I hope some day I can do it too.... (I'm still an amateur, I play the bassoon, or at least I try to play it since last summer, so... I'd better be patient).

[@leroythegiant_8503]

I got a leggree reeds ad before this..... it's iluminati

[@latte2096]

Jazz_cuber_394 _ Same!!!!!

[@Gr8bsn]

Come to the Legere side. We are waiting 4u.

[@djmotise]

Lmao. It is indeed the Illuminati.

[@GoOKuSj33]

Why not Rite of Spring in this?

[@markjuarez6469]

That wasn't a required bassoon excerpt for the 2011 KZbin Symphony auditions.

[@ArtemisApollo26]

His eyes are so beautiful

[@MyKingDodo]

The bassoon is an extremely fun instrument to play, with an extremely high range. The higher notes can be a little tricky, but the low notes are sultry awesomeness to play. I would highly recommend it, as every conductor I have played under (granted I am only a sophomore) has loved me instantly just for playing bassoon.

[@melcasillas3157]

Coera hello! I am a trombonist in my high school's concert band and I really want to learn how to play bassoon but because of the cost of a bassoon I am not able to learn so I was told that if I buy it I will be able to learn so please help me reach my goal at www.gofundme.com/2nkcuzej

[@scruffysean3640]

He plays so wonderfully. I want him all to myself! {sigh}

[@angelapena6543]

Thanks for this!

[@clarijava]

extraordinaire !! j'adore ça façon de jouer

[@lilygleason4363]

Moi aussi 😭😭😭

[@Zenith292]

"I will suggest that you... practice it..." thanks!

[@ziomatthewbari3300]

🤣

[@thenumberone10ful]

yes there are, a lot of half holes actually, especially with high G and G. I am only in 9th grade and have been playing for only two years but yes, there are half holes on modern Bassoon like there are on Oboe

[@crackiswack87]

...I've already done six things to him in my head...but anyway he really knows his stuff,he's a great talent...

[@azulHYDproductions]

@SuffocatedSong My heart was melted by the minute 5:36

[@frenchhornist203]

i can kinda relate because french horn is also really difficult and at one point i used to try and learn oboe and bassoon but quit becuase i couldnt get the idea of the embechour becuase im used to clarinet and french horn

[@MichaelRowlands123]

@TheWitzig13 That's what I'm DOING!!!!!! I LOVE BASSOON!!!

[@BeowulfVids]

I really need a Bassoon. I am currently a saxophone player but I love the bassoon and I've been playing alot of Bassoon Exerpts with my Baritone Saxophone. Could someone tell me how similar Saxophones are to Bassoons, and could such a transition be easy?

[@CamLemieux]

Whatta beauty.

[@joefouker3082]

vary helpful tips for playing I play the cello and bass clarinet not the bassoon but those where very helpful

[@MAEdalgo]

thanks for watching

[@jonhalvorlund]

@pwatt45 He played the solo in the beginning of the 2nd mvt, the YTSO asks for the cadenza in the middle of the mvt. Also, the Figaro excerpt is from a different place. His colleague's contra master class doesn't have anything to do with the excerpts whatsoever. Strange.

[@acgrwyzz]

@TheRegulated well. it is mostly woodwind instrument and double reeds the most of them all, is what I am saying.

[@pegster6]

Thank you, Joost! I only ever played piano, no woodwinds, but dearly love the bassoon as well as both pieces you used as examples. Agree on the exquisite beauty of Tchaikovsky's 4th, particularly the 2nd movement, and Rimsky-Korsakov is so beautiful as well. I learned a lot watching this and it helps me understand and appreciate what I'm hearing and seeing even more. :-)

[@belleorleans]

wouldn't mind just hearing him talk all day =)

[@DavidofSteele]

his body moves like he is in slow-motion. great chap

[@kontribucio]

How cute:)

[@Tempdoom]

our band doesn't even hear us usually...

[@MsMarcosleite]

Parabéns.Gostei da sua didática e objetividade nos seus comentários.Não sou fagotista,sou pianista.Contudo,tenho SÓLIDA FORMAÇÃO MUSICAL e tudo que foi comentado,procede sob o bom gosto musical de quem tem e são poucos e na minha opinião,isto é inato,ou seja,trazido de outras vidas esta bagagem e todo este conhecimento sobre o seu instrumento,o fagote.Continue porque o caminho é este.Marcos Leite,pianista/professor.

[@merwholockianXO]

his name is so adorable- "Joost" :D

[@brandie147]

i play a bassoon and i hope i can play like him someday

[@Mujangga]

EVEN BETTER!!!

[@alamargotbernard]

pour moi souvenir d'enfance, my music teacher have Peter and a Wolf obsession ,bassoon wath an animal.

[@MoonlightArsenica]

his neckstrap makes mine (tenor sax neckstrap from mills, tch.) seem inferior. -weeps- and his bassoon is so pretty! the wood is soooo lustrous...amazing tone, too. i have a B&H 400, the tone is pretty good (for a highschool student) but his is so smooth! sooo gorgeous. sounds like chocolate...:)

[@verso69]

@SuffocatedSong And if melting gold had a look, i would look like Joost !

[@madmehalic1]

I just tried out for the bassoon today at my school, and I'm nervous that I won't get the bassoon '~'

[@bjlok330]

@kas8970 I don't play bassoon, but i want to, and i was wondering what is so hard about it?

[@Toast579]

i guess im not the only one who sweats when they play :)

[@caueper99]

oh Very good

[@MoonlightArsenica]

does anyone know what kind of reed he uses?

[@Esj114]

How do you like the bassoon? I'm in 9th grade right now and I play oboe. We have another oboist and I really want to try bassoon!

[@ricardoleite1482]

Maravilha de explicação tudo com legenda em português!!

[@MsMagav]

Aaaw, he's so cute

[@sailtheplains]

He's a good-looking guy. Awesome.

[@AsianBassoonPerson]

YES

[@karenthomson9004]

Why is his perfect English dubbed, interfering with what he says and with his music?

[@borisich88]

Nice guy!

[@ytyt3922]

Like many here, I only tapped on this video to look at the bassoonist. God he’s hot.

[@jeleopard]

So I JUST picked up the bassoon today and... Holy crap o.O I mean, I play bari sax usually, but holy shit sticks, that's amazing!

[@ddgvb6159]

jeleopard are u pro now?

[@theirishfront12]

[@Billie1982Jean1]

[@CloneHat]

[@waterbuggg]

[@aziztarghibakkali9596]

Is he from holland? Because i am and his surname is from holland

[@MrSVD97]

He is. He's from Noord-Brabant if I'm correct. I'm a Dutch bassoon player myself and on the moment I'm learning from his former teacher :)

[@melisamontecino3240]

HE'S SO CUTEE...i don't care if he's gay, he's a really talented man

[@SharpWalkers]

[@pwatt45]

im looking at the Scheherazade excerpt....either they didnt upload the right part or he played the wrong one, because they dont match

[@16mmDJ]

The contrabassoonist does that as well. Must be a bassoon thing :D

[@Klon0.2]

What type of bassoon is that

[@carjamash]

What type of bassoon does he play on?

[@acgrwyzz]

[@baskoolenbrander]

Een Nederlander JEEEUUUJJ!!!

[@Beartallica86]
