Big Doublereed Day!
Venue: Guildhall School of Music & Drama, London, EC2Y 8DT

A full day of doublereeding - concerts, masterclasses & workshops!

As you can see from the provisional list of tutors on the Latest News page of the website and the supporters listed it looks like being a really exciting event. Last year it was a bassoon-only day and we had 100 participants, but this year we anticipate at least 150 bassoons and 100 oboes.

Like last year, the staffing list will grow as we receive more subscriptions so that classes will always be kept to low student/teacher ratios. Participants will be grouped in approximate age/ability levels. The course will cater for beginners (including starter oboe and mini bassoon) through to post-graduates and adults of all levels. N.B. Please state clearly on the application form if you play the mini bassoon or the tenoroon.

Activities will include:

  • Masterclasses
  • Reed Classes
  • Try the Cor/Contra/Baroque Oboe/Baroque Bassoon
  • Solo Recital and Massed Double Reed Ensembles.

It will also be possible to try a whole range of instruments and to buy a variety of music and accessories.

Instrument technicians will be present for running repairs.
