For this special topic presentation, Dr. Anna Marsh and student Rylie Patching will introduce the Baroque bassoon and Baroque playing style to pre-college students. Students should come with their instrument as they will get a chance to play articulations and ornamentations on their modern bassoon. (Adults are welcome too!) Topics to be covered would include:

• What is the Baroque Bassoon?

• What is Baroque Playing Style?

• Baroque Style on a Modern Bassoon

• Trials and Rewards of Baroque Style and Why It Matters

• How to Get Started and Where to Find Support
