Bassoon

The bassoon, the bass voice of the woodwind family, brings a unique character to any ensemble. Known as both the ‘joker’ of the woodwinds and as a sensitive, expressive instrument, it’s perfect for students wanting to stand out with something distinctive.

Once students reach the required level of proficiency, they can join the Symphony Orchestra, Premier Concert Band, or Wind Band. Instrument hire can be arranged through the Music department, subject to availability.
