Primary Handbook for Bassoon Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, my disclaimer! I'm not a music/band teacher, so I really can't say much about the content of this book from an expert's view. I bought the book for my son's music/band teacher who doesn't have much experience with the bassoon but who bravely agreed to help him begin to learn bassoon.

The book looks like a good basic overview of teaching a beginning bassoonist. I believe there is a paragraph saying that the book is meant to be a resource for teachers who are teaching bassoon, but not experts themselves. There are several diagrams throughout the book. The writing is clear and the book seems to be well-organized.

I offered the book to my son's teacher with the caveat that I didn't know if it would be useful or not, and she chose to keep it so she must have felt the content would be useful to her. And, perhaps, the proof is in the pudding; my son is learning and enjoying the bassoon!

It looks like a useful book to me. The only reason I didn't give it another star is that I feel like I am not qualified to completely judge the book's merit with regard to accuracy of the content.
