Free 3-day webinar hosted by Dr. Sara McCallum Addams. July 13-15

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A 3 day webinar with an educator or performer option. Join me, Dr Sara McCallum Addams, for a 3 day overview of fundamentals to empower your or your student's bassoon playing as we move into the new school year.

July 13, 14, 15 on Zoom
10:30 a.m.- 12:00 p.m. Central Educator block
2:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. Central Student Performer block

Which block should I attend?

The educator block is geared towards those who teach bassoon players but bassoon is not their primary instrument. We are talking band and orchestra directors, private lesson teachers, parents of bassoon players. Anyone that wants to better be able to help a bassoon player.

The student performer block is for anyone that is currently playing bassoon. Regardless of your age or level of playing, we are all students of the bassoon if we continue to play. This block is geared towards playing the instrument rather than teaching how to play the instrument.

The same information will be covered but from different approaches.
