You'll get it easy! If they wanted flute you may have a little trouble 'cos you need to be astoundingly good to get it 'cos there are so many...

!! Really...you'll still get it for sure though! Just for a laugh - ever heard of 'Flight of the Bumble Bee'? Think prestissimo semi-quavers, all tongued...just try it, and if you can get one bar done, slurred, then they can't really refuse you! 50 bassoonists...I know 3 - my teacher, a kid called Joe who has his lesson before me ( my opinion  ) and a student called Dan Davies - whoa! He's astounding...he does some trios with some oboists at my school and - whoa! |

Tried to play on flute but haven't tried it on bassoon. I need to practice bassoon day music. |

You won't have any problems getting in on the bassoon . Slightly harder on the flute front, as last year over 100 people auditioned for about 30 places!! I couldn't believe it when I got in  . |

I was thginking aboput auditioning on the flute but bassoon was the better choice... I wish i had chosen my second instrument to be lighter but, then, playing bassoon means I get loads of chances. |
