Thank you for your interest in Bassoon lessons at the Kansas City School of Music! While teaching the fundamentals of the instrument, we give our bassoon students a supportive, structured, and instinctive learning environment. We teach students to trust their musical intuitions. The bassoon is an extremely versatile instrument, with abilities ranging from creating bass lines to producing soaring treble melodies. The shape of the instrument is conical, which gives the sound more overtones and creates a richness not unlike the human voice.

Thank you for offering Musikgarten classes! Hannah Lamb is an excellent teacher. She is patient, kind, encouraging and great at redirecting. I will admit I was a tad nervous before the first class, because I am not a musical person, I can't clap on beat. However, after a bit of research and finding out the benefits of these classes I wanted to take my daughter.
It is a joy to sing, dance and learn with my daughter in this environment It is also a delight to not only see my daughter's enjoyment of the class, but also to see the children interact during the activities.
