Buonviri Bassoon Studio provides superb one-on-one instruction on bassoon and contra-bassoon, as well as reed-making techniques in both instruments.
Students develop a wide range of specific musical skills: listening, reading, memorizing, and performing. Each student is encouraged to develop unique and personal musicianship through development of all these skills.
The true hallmark of the studio is building human character through communication skills, self-discipline, teamwork and
creativity.
We offer lessons on line taught though either Skype or FaceTime.
