BASSOON REED

Color in the bassoon reed and learn interesting facts about reeds.

Then listen to Silly Sounds in the Tiny Tots program to hear our bassoonist play just her reed!

Many woodwind instruments need reeds in order to make sound.

The bassoon and oboe have double reeds - their reeds are two thin pieces of wood tied together.

Bassoonists make their own reeds.

Color and cut out your piccolo. Use it during Highs and Lows in the Tiny Tots program.
