Bumptious Bassoonist
Hi all - I missed six months of Forum activities because I moved house and promptly forgot all my Forum passwords so I reregistered and renamed myself as Bumptious Bassoonist. I'm glad to see so many new faces as well as plenty of the old ones.

By the by I passed my grade 5 bassoon last June.

It'd be great to go along to a forum event but I guess I'll have to wade through pages of mystery posts to find out when the next one takes place. If anyone can give me guidance on this matter I'd really appreciate it.

Welcome back and congrats on the Grade 5 exam.

How's the piano playing going?

My piano has lately emerged from a sea of cardboard boxes and has pride of place in my living room. The bottom register is horribly out of tune and I don't know whether a tuner will be able to coax the strings up to the right level of tension. Fingers crossed. I'm going to be horribly out of practice as I haven't played for six months. The instrument has been in storage all that time but I think I needed a break after working for my grade seven. For that exam my old teacher had me playing the same pieces for a year and I really don't think I could go through that again. I haven't started looking for a new teacher yet but I have discovered a lovely retired piano professor in my new village. I went round and played the bassoon very badly as she accompanied me. She used to be an examiner and she's really nice. Glad to know they are human!
