arrow icon
Hello! I am Tobias, a bassoonist for more than 5 years, and in this course I will teach how to prepare reeds for the bassoon.
From assembling the reed to scraping it, this activity presents great complexity and a huge range of possibilities in the way of preparing it, which is why it is ideal for each bassoonist to be able to make their own reeds and find their desired sound. .
This course will allow the student to prepare a reed simultaneously with the teacher (his/her own work team is required), or he/she can opt for a much more theoretical approach, where the student observes the preparation of the reed and is complemented with explanations of the armed and scraping.
If the student wishes to scrape his own cane simultaneously with the teacher, he must request two classes on two different days, because the cane needs to take shape for a couple of hours.
Extra information
This course offers the possibility for the student to prepare his rod simultaneously with the teacher, which requires the student to have his own work team, which consists of:
The cane in its original state, wire for canes, gardening scissors, ruler, tweezers, punch, cutter, sharpener, guitar pick, knife/knife and sandpaper. It is also required to be in a place with access to a kettle and a burner, because we will need steam.

Playing music and expressing yourself through an instrument is something that everyone can do! I believe in music being an inclusive and attainable skill no matter your experience. I have a passion for both teaching and playing the bassoon and flute, and believe in creating a positive and exciting environment for students. I have 10+ years experience as a flute and bassoon tutor across multiple schools in Sydney and London, and have recently moved to Berlin. I am able to teach in English only.

I work as a freelance bassoonist in London and Berlin, and have worked with major orchestras such as the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, Berlin Philharmonic Karajan Akademie and the Orchestral of the Royal Opera House, London. I graduated with a Master’s degree from Guildhall School of music and drama, London.

My teaching experience is extensive. I have taught students between the ages of 3-30. I have worked 1:1 with students, and have had lots of experience with groups of up to 40 students across many instruments. I have put many students through practical musical exams and highly encourage them if desired. My students have a 100% success rate in their exams.

As I am currently a performer, teacher and student myself, I am very aware of the balance between hard work and having fun. I believe the best way to create a successful musical journey is through a positive and encouraging environment, where students can develop their skills and take risks without fear! I also take highly into account the individuality of students and their desires, so make sure to adjust my approach as suited.

If you would like to learn the flute and/or bassoon just for fun, you are welcome. If you would like to further develop your musical skills, I offer lessons for competitions, school exams, as well as auditions in orchestras or conservatories.
