about

I am a 29/f that loves to listen and try to help out. I have always been the one people go to for advice.

I will tell you how I feel about it. If you don't like my answer, I'm sorry. However, usually what I say is true, people just can't handle the truth.

advice

i'm a flute and piano player, but my director wants me to switch to bassoon since our high school bassoon player will be graduating this year. the only problem is: i've never played the bassoon before.
i'm very excited for this opportunity (sp?) and wish to make the best of it, but i can't enjoy playing if i have no clue what to do.
my director is obviously going to help me, but i want to know more on my own, rather than completely depend on her.
does anyone know any basics to playing the bassoon?

any help whatsoever is appreciated.
thank you. :D

I hope this is at least some good information for you. My brother was in band and he only learned to play one instrument. He played the trombone. He loved it, but I think he would have enjoyed having some diversity and challenges to make him appreciate the art more. I think it's wonderful that you are considering changing from your normal. It will make for better understand of the craft that you enjoy. I wish you nothing but the best.
