Summary of This Method
With Bravo! Bassoon, learning the bassoon is approached with a decidedly musical spirit: the pieces progressively guide the student through the early levels, providing "real" playing situations very early on. The collection highlights a majority of original pieces, supplemented by carefully chosen arrangements : some immediately recognizable, others more unusual, to spark curiosity and enrich musical culture.
The main advantage of this method for beginning bassoonists is to encourage the student to interpret as soon as possible. Each piece becomes an opportunity to work on sound quality, line shaping, breathing, articulation, and contrasts, rather than merely "playing the right notes." This approach helps build a solid foundation while making practice sessions more lively and rewarding.
Because the first steps with an instrument can sometimes be a solitary experience, this collection recommends playing with piano accompaniment whenever possible. By listening to the accompaniment part, the student learns to recognize and appreciate different musical styles, as well as to perceive the sense of harmony beyond the melody. Playing in a duo also develops an essential skill: maintaining one's own part while staying attentive to the other, a valuable asset for chamber music as well as orchestra. And, simply put, it is an excellent way to enjoy playing.
