Little Demon Studies for Bassoon comprises 40+ miniature studies for beginners and improvers guaranteed to keep your fingers twiddling and your tongue tapping along with a fiendish cast of demons.
Suitable for players of Grades 1-3 standard. The book focuses on the range of notes that require the crook/speaker/whisper key and is divided into progressive sections on Vent Keys, Breath Control, and Articulation. The pieces are in a variety of styles and are designed to be fun whilst developing technique. Several are half a page and many are one page long. All are in easy keys and use straightforward rhythms and would make great sight reading practice.
Each piece includes a checklist with technical tips and hints, and introduces demon characters such as: Thumb Demon, Demon in a Stetson, Raggy Demon, Calypso Demon, Long Tall Demon, Tango Demon, and many, many more!
