What’s up guys! Welcome to the first BOSS blog! I would just like to say thank you for visiting my website! It really means a lot to me and I hope that this resource can help many new bassoon players. When I started playing bassoon, I didn’t have a website like this, but I had my dad (the cameraman). He actually found out about the bassoon from a random music teacher he met on one of his business trips! That’s flippin’ insanity! If he never met that music teacher, I wouldn’t be playing the bassoon today. What crazy bassoon (or other instruments) stories do you have? Please feel free to talk about them in the comments! I will feature my favorite ones in a video!
Starting a new journey...
