Online Bassoon Tutors
Whether your child is preparing for a grade exam, finding a particular technique tricky, or simply losing their spark for the bassoon, it’s hard to know how to help. Especially when you can't play a note yourself. But even when you can’t help with the subject, you can still help them.
Finding the right person is the first step. Our Tutor Finder asks a few simple questions about your child and what they need. We then recommend a specialist bassoon tutor we believe is the right fit. You don't have to figure it all out alone.

More than just grades — rediscovering the joy of playing
With the right support, practice can stop feeling like a chore. Lessons become a space to explore new music, master difficult passages, and ask questions without feeling judged. It’s about building confidence that goes far beyond the next exam.
That confidence can make all the difference, whether they're aiming for a distinction in their next grade, auditioning for an orchestra, or simply want to feel proud of the music they make. It’s about getting them to a place where they pick up their instrument because they want to, not because they have to.
Find a tutor
We find the right bassoon tutor for your child
Our Tutor Finder asks a few key questions – from the musical grades they’re working towards to how they prefer to learn. We use this to recommend a small shortlist of tutors we would genuinely choose for your child.
Every tutor we recommend is not only an expert musician but also a patient and encouraging teacher. We accept just one in every eight applicants, so you can be sure you're getting a real recommendation.
And if the first session isn’t the perfect fit, our First Lesson Guarantee means we’ll find another tutor for you at no extra charge. The right person, guaranteed.

Most families find a weekly one-hour lesson works best. This provides regular contact to maintain momentum and build a strong rapport with the tutor, while leaving enough time for practice between sessions.
Yes, absolutely. Many of our specialist bassoon tutors are experienced performers who can guide students on the practical aspects of instrument care, including the art of reed adjustment and making, which is a crucial skill for any advancing player.
That's a perfect time to start with a tutor. They can ensure your child builds a strong foundation from day one, covering everything from posture and breathing to forming a good embouchure, preventing bad habits from setting in.

All you need is the bassoon itself, a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. A music stand is also very helpful. Your tutor can recommend any further accessories if needed.
