Wow, my bassoon career is taking another turn. Recently I was asked to do some private teaching which I have been doing. It is fun, not worth a great deal in terms of income. I do better playing my chamber music but it is a source of income and that is what I am going to develop now that the teaching is just about finished. Two weeks left.
Speaking of bassoon, my teacher from many years ago, has retired. Wow, I am surprised. He has moved to a smaller town, not sure why but I am sure that he has his reasons. He has developed a new synthetic reed which will be released this fall. I will see what it is like and hopefully it is good.
In the meantime, enjoy your music-playing or listening or both.

Che ce'di nuovo: from our Italian classes-what's new. I hope to write about what's new in my life and also what I find of interest that is new. Will be interesting to explore the everyday and look at it with new eyes.

About Me
- Bassoon Woman
- Despite the fact that I have been playing the bassoon since I was 13 years old, there are people who will be surprised by the name Bassoon Woman. Some of these people would be my tennis partners who only know me as an eager opponent on the tennis court. I am living proof that you can get better as you as age. At least, I think that I am playing better (they accepted me on one of the club teams last year.) Members of the garden club where I attend sessions designing florelle centre pieces, are always surprised to see me at performances. My next performance is at Colborne Lodge in High Park, we are playing a return engagement celebrating spring on March 20. Hopefully, it will be springlike. These are just a few of the activities that occupy my time. After 30 years of teaching fulltime, I now work part-time teaching music in a high school. Wonderful experience. I am looking forward to exploring the many experiences fill my days. noramr2@gmail.com
