Time Expressions, Book 1 for Bassoon is part of Kyle Coughlin’s Time Focus Music Method, and it teaches basic dynamics and articulations through a series of exercises, melodies, and duets. It is a step-by-step approach to developing your skills, and will guide you through lessons on dynamic contrasts, crescendos and decrescendos, slurs, staccatos, and accents. The book focuses on one element at a time, so you can focus on improving your expressive skills. All of the books for woodwinds and brass are in the same key, so any group of musicians playing those instruments can practice together.
