May I ask, if u don't mind, that is, aren't the lip techniques for those instruments all different? According to my teacher, they are. Just for my knowledge, when u play all those instruments, don't u get mixed up?

Hi. I've gone through almost the same change--from flute to bassoon. bassoon is an awesome instrument!! i've been playing bassoon for half a year or so now, and i don't find it hard. the embouchure is really different though, gotta get used to that...and remember to never practise flute RIGHT after playing bassoon! it wrecks the muscles...good luck!
