Daily Routines for Bassoon David Vining

Daily Routines for Bassoon by Jacqueline Wilson is appropriate for advanced high school through professional bassoon players.

Daily Routines provides a systematic way to improve your fundamental bassoon skills. Each of the seven thirty-minute routines is divided into the following skill categories to ensure you practice some of each technique every day: long tones, articulation, half-hole/thumb coordination, scales, arpeggios, and response and intonation across registers. Within each routine, a wide array of ranges, keys, tempos, articulations, and rhythms are employed. Regardless of which routine you play, you can be assured that each of these skill categories is addressed so all your fundamental skills will improve equally over time.

Practicing fundamentals is the most important practice session of your day because when your fundamental skills improve, everything you play gets better. Playing one routine a day from Daily Routines will challenge you in unique ways and build a foundation of fundamental skills so you can tackle any musical challenge!

'Daily Routines' brings organization and consistency to the daily practice of essential fundamentals in a way not yet seen in bassoon publications. This one source covers the full range of the bassoon articulation, intonation, half-hole and thumb technique while ensuring you work through all major and minor keys. Dr. Jacqueline Wilson, a sought-after artist and pedagogue, has added a worthy publication to the bassoon world. - Leigh Muñoz, Assistant Professor of Bassoon, University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory
