Where do I start? 

Yes, it can be confusing! 2reed.net has thousands of files created from decades of Terry Ewell's work. Here are important items and indices to the website:

• Online Course of Study for Bassoon with materials in sequenced order for beginning to advanced students.
• Método: Music of the Americas for Bassoon (Método: Música de las Américas para fagot)--Version 1.0. This contains over 100 lessons and modules. Levels 1-4 each contain studies, ear training, echo playing, Partimenti, melodies, duets, and excerpts. Level 5 expands further on the same format by adding circular breathing, notes up to G5, and extended bassoon tecnhiques.
• Topical index to videos and other materials.
• And don't forget the search functions for materials and YouTube videos.
