Drills 2.0
“Drills 2.0 is the natural continuation of Drills 1.0 and works both as an add-on to the existing system as well as a stand alone resource. This book presents problem solving techniques in practicing as well as suggests solutions for common bassoon frustrations. After many years of playing in orchestras I also make an attempt for some general guidelines of orchestral behaviour that hopefully will fall in fruitful soil. The fingering section is my humble attempt to standardise fingerings in different categories so one may implement them for the use of one’s choice. In the back of the book is a short section for further exercises to increase our fluency on the instrument.” - Ole Kristian Dahl

***Christmas special***
Drills 1.0 and Drills 2.0 will come with a complimentary 60 minute online lesson.
What we cover during your lesson is up to you. We can go through an overview of Drills, and I can also help to find solutions to any bassoon or reed making difficulties that you may be having. Your lesson will be online via Zoom (or a similar mutual platform*).
*I will contact you via email to organise a suitable time. Lessons are valid for six months from date of purchase.
