HurryCane Reeds

I am pleased to announce the self-publication (digital though it may be) of my set of etudes titled “200X: Stage Selections for Bassoon, Volume 1.” Sheet music and recordings can be found at my Band Camp page, or by clicking on the embedded player below. The individual tracks are free to download, and are meant to serve as a demonstration of the etudes. The sheet music can be downloaded as a “bonus item” with the purchase of the entire album ($15 US).

Attention students, parents, and band directors in the Winnipeg area: now is the time to sign up for bassoon lessons for the summer! Whether your student is an advanced player or has no experience with the instrument, private instruction is the tool they need to bring their playing to the next level.

Lessons are offered from my home studio in Winnipeg, and I am currently offering a 10% discount on summer lessons for students of all levels. This offer is valid for students who commit to weekly private lessons between July 1 and August 1 (exact schedule and number of lessons can be negotiated to work conveniently around vacation and summer camp plans), and is an ideal opportunity for students who are new to the instrument or who are seeking advanced instruction including preparation for university auditions.

Lessons focus on the following:

Care of the instrument and the musician – students learn to maintain a working instrument and to maximize the efficiency of their own practice
Proficiency with the instrument – fundamentals of tone production, technique, intonation
Integration of music theory with music practice – intervals, scales, arpeggios, phrasing, style
Repertoire – studies, solos, chamber music, ensemble music for band and orchestra
Audition and competition preparation
Bassoon reed-making (advanced students)

All of my students play on reeds that I make for them, and are given a reed free of charge at their first lesson.

To celebrate the year of Canada’s sesquicentennial anniversary, we are pleased to offer FREE SHIPPING ON ALL REED ORDERS SHIPPED WITHIN CANADA for the entire year of 2017!

 

2017 brings some exciting changes to HurryCane Reeds! We have relocated, and are now in Winnipeg, Manitoba (that’s in Canada!). Our reeds are still available for all of our loyal (and new!) customers in the United States (and in Canada, of course), and we are expanding our product offerings to include hand-made accessories , starting with Canadian maple cutting-blocks.

To celebrate the new year, every reed order placed in January over $50 will include a free cutting-block while supplies last.

Stay up-to-date with our activities by following us on Instagram.

Hello Double Reed community,

We wanted to let you all know that we are fortunate that our home and business have not been directly impacted by the recent flooding in Louisiana. We have cane and reeds in stock and ready to ship!

If you are looking for ways to directly send support to those displaced by the floods, please consider a cash donation to the American Red Cross. You can use a drop-down menu on their donation page to specify that your donation is for “Louisiana Floods.”
