“Bassoonlesson is the most comprehensive bassoon course in the world. As both an interpreter and a pedagogue, Alexandre is a master. The student enjoys enormous knowledge, which Alexandre acquired over decades of study. It is a privilege to be part of this project.”
#6 – “I’m really enjoying the classes…”
“I’m in love with the classes. I auditioned in December and studied online while on vacation. I had to play a technique, so I chose Milde-1 because it provided a class on how to do it correctly. Playing with my own reed, which you instruct, worked beautifully! (Approved in the first phase of Bacarelli Institute; will return in February for the second) I plan to take jazz classes, initially hesitant due to perceived difficulty, but have seen that it is achievable and enhances musicality.”
#3 – “A course that gives you much more than what it proposes…”
“The Bassoon Lesson expanded my knowledge of the instrument and gave me fresh ideas on how to work with it, as well as a practical study routine well-prepared by the teacher with instructions—a course that exceeds expectations, featuring high-quality content and a qualified instructor like Professor Alexandre.”
#7 – “I highly recommend it.”
“Bassoonlesson.com is amazing; it taught me to listen and perform jazz more elegantly. From meandering bass lines to improv lines following modes and scales, the bassoon does it all, and best of all. Whatever I learned on the site has also helped my reeds. Stunning for bassoonists looking to develop. This is highly recommended!”
#5 – “I improved my classical playing by playing jazz.”
“Alexandre is a great teacher and coach with a big heart. I discovered him after listening to Entre Mundos and wanted to practice jazz and improvisation for pleasure. I improved my classical playing by playing jazz. His weekly planner, stretching advice, and self-care helped me heal from a shoulder injury. Alexandre helped me focus and change my playing style despite the distance. Any bassoon player looking for new insights should take his course.”
