Drills is an established system for bassoon playing that Ole Dahl developed over the last 25 years.

By implementing the system in his teaching for the last 15 years, he has received constant evaluation and feedback from students and professionals. 

This new fine-tuned edition is the result of this feedback and incorporates a decade of improvements in explanations and exercises. Also includes QR codes linking to video demonstrations.
