"I am an older student who took up playing the bassoon again after 20 years. I was quite intimidated getting back into playing. Julia has been amazingly supportive and helped me get back up to speed. She has also taught me techniques I did not learn 20 years ago! I look forward to each lesson because of this and notice a real improvement in my playing. I wouldn't trade Julia for any other instructor."

"We are so happy to have Julia Bair as a bassoon teacher for our son. She is a very professional, nice, gentle and an amazing teacher. Thank you Julia for everything you teach Kevin. We definitely recommend Julia Bair as a five stars teacher. We'll miss you!"
-Liliana, (parent)
"I really enjoyed lessons with you because you helped me start over and really focus on the details. For instance, with the scales, I was forced to know the scales and not just read them off a sheet which was very helpful. You also helped me practice in a more effective way by showing me new techniques that improved my playing. Overall, it was really fun working with you. Thank you!"

"My daughter improved a lot in just a few lessons with Julia. She saw right away what needed more work. She paid attention to right breathing technique, fingering, flicking, gave music to listen to, and she also has a very good understanding how to work with a younger player encouraging not pushing. Would highly recommend her."

"I thought you were patient and constructive without being too critical. You gave clear goals from week to week. I liked the way you played along with the student . I liked the way you listened to what he had to say about the music and how he related to it. Good breathing exercises per Ian. He suggested more tonguing exercises."
