That etude sounds amazing! I'm in 8th grade, and I just started practicing Bassoon a couple weeks ago (I switch from Clarinet to Bassoon in band in around a month), and I hope to one day play in a professional orchestra! I found this channel a few days after I started practicing, and I find your videos very helpful! Keep up the great work Natalie!
I’d like your take on playing through the first Weissenborn etude. I’ve played it a few times and boy, it’s tricky, especially at the end when a bassoon player must incorporate G#4 and A4 in some of the final phrases. Perhaps you could also provide some advice on the third Weissenborn etude. Though it looks easy, some sections are indeed tricky.
Nicely done, beautiful playing. It was nice to hear you crack a few notes, to demonstrate what happens if you don't use alternate fingerings, and how things sound when you don't do them just right. Thank you. Keep up the good work. (By the way, I am from Ohio, and my wife went to The Ohio State University, and so we are natural enemies, but I forgive you for that.) 😁
Wonderful video, thank you. But just one little remark: at 14:47 you're playing the mf-passage as if it were written in the normal bass clef, but it's in tenor clef, and these slurs in the original higher pitch is even trickyer to play and get the slurs right with a good voicing. The leaps go back and forth between two very different registers. But besides that: I appreciate your videos very much!
This video is helpful for me. I'm currently playing this etude.

I’m a proud Michigan State alum! So we actually have a common enemy!

That's hilarious! Goes to show that we all are capable of making gross errors! Thank you for your comment.
