Thank you for this video! I also practice Kovar and recommend it to my students but sometimes they find it hard to understand that practice is not always fun. They have to watch this movie. 👍

[@burnbassoon]

Thanks for watching! I sympathize!

[@cornfieldvideo]

Thank you for offering this series. I enjoy your presentations and I love your reeds.

[@burnbassoon]

Thanks, Charles!

Thanks for all your advices Andrew! Keep going with the videos, they are helpful.

[@burnbassoon]

Thanks, Angel!

[@DwainRichardson]

You’ve given me some good practice tips. I’ll hunt down a Kovar score and try a few exercises. Thank you so much! (-:

[@burnbassoon]

Happy to help! Thanks for writing!

I prefer weissinborn method for bassoon but this book looks promising thank you

[@burnbassoon]

Weissenborn is good too, but this serves another purpose

[@marinatessmer1116]

[@burnbassoon]

Thanks, Marina!

Hi Andrew, would you mind sharing the info (brand, or where to get it) of the phone clamp attachment your using? It seems pretty helpful if you want to use a metronome or tuner on your phone!

[@burnbassoon]

No problem. It’s a smallrig super clamp with a multifunctional crab-shaped clamp, and a manfrotto mclamp. Hope this helps!

[@raulchaurand]

@@burnbassoon It does help a lot, thank you very much!!

Hi there! For the 5 note exercise, how many times would you repeat each bar?

[@burnbassoon]

As many times as it takes to get the area within the repeat sign 2 times perfectly.

[@Michael-mg3lu]

@@burnbassoon So if it's fairly fluent you'll play it twice then move on?

[@burnbassoon]

@@Michael-mg3lu perfect. If it's hard to get it without fail, then I would do the whole exercise 2bpm slower

[@Bassoondadcomics]

Cool video :). Your voice is mixed 100% to the left speaker.

[@burnbassoon]

Thanks, I noticed that too late. I will make sure it is fixed for next time!
