Bassoon Lessons

Are you interested in learning the bassoon? I have held a studio for over five years and would love to work with you. All ages and ability levels are welcome. The lessons will be conducted online via Zoom. If you are located in the Pittsburgh area, lessons can be conducted in person if chosen. If you are interested, please fill out the form below with the subject line: Lessons.

My teaching values:

Support is essential for learning. I strive to create an atmosphere that is welcoming and inclusive. Having a growth mindset in life helps individuals achieve amazing feats. This belief is the core of the studio. No experience is required to learn the bassoon, only dedication and self-belief. If this sounds like you, lessons may be the right change in your life.

Josh’s educational background is varied. With a background in Biology, lessons with Josh include a scientific approach to playing bassoon. Sections such as posture, breathing, perioral muscle engagement, and hand function are especially important. As an adaptive teacher, Josh has worked with students who have diverse physical and motor-function needs, including neuromuscular and musculoskeletal conditions. His focus is on modifying technique, equipment, pacing, and learning strategies to meet each student's unique circumstances.

Please note: I am an educator, not a medical professional. I do not diagnose, treat, or provide medical advice. Any adaptations are provided within the scope of music instruction and should complement, not replace, guidance from qualified healthcare providers.
