Bassoonist William Short explains his method for evaluating reeds honestly.
Cleonide, an interesting new blog on musical acoustics, offers some insight on response issues in the saxophone’s low register. (Somewhat technical/mathematical.)
Ed Joffe pays tribute to Al Block, a distinguished woodwind doubler who passed away recently.
Cate Hummel discusses a timeline for teaching flute dynamics. (I agree wholeheartedly about waiting to teach dynamics, for all woodwinds, but respectfully disagree about how dynamic changes are produced.) In another post, she discusses teaching students how to practice.
Flutist Rena Urso-Trapani shares her experience with a recent orchestral audition, and offers some tips.
Clarinetist Jenny Maclay offers some ways to improve your playing from outside the practice room.
Jennet Ingle teaches a young oboist a new fingering. (Great minds think alike.)
