Welcome

Welcome to the site from Dr Paula Brusky, bassoonist.  I am a bassoon performer, teacher, and researcher.  Find out about me; hear performances; learn about my teaching philosophy; utilize my bassoon teaching and performing resources; discover what my PhD research into pain and injury in bassoon players has revealed.

I am the founding director of the BCMCC, a new competition encouraging chamber music for the bassoon.  The BCMCC is currently open for composer submissions until 1 May 2010.
