Oboe/Bassoon Coaching for Middle/High School Bands
Band directors: Do your oboe or bassoon students need help? Were the double reed instruments your least favorite in instrumental methods? Do you ever wonder what they were thinking putting so many thumb keys on a bassoon? Teaching artists/musician Stephanie Daige can help your students learn to:
use correct fingerings and alternate fingerings when appropriate.
play in tune.
play with a correct embouchure.
understand articulations and phrasing.
play expressively.
learn their parts for band or orchestra repertoire.
learn practice techniques and strategies.
increase technical proficiency.
challenge themselves beyond band repertoire with method books and solo repertoire.
learn solos or chamber pieces for Solo and Ensemble MPA, or other recitals.
