Playing Baroque Bassoon on a Wolf Scherer II

Baroque Instructor

  • Dr. Anna Marsh is a Baroque wind specialist who is also fluent in Medieval, Renaissance, Classical and Modern instruments. Her interests lie principally in the double-reed family, though she also performs on the Renaissance and Baroque recorder. I started officially studying with Dr. Marsh a month after my 13th birthday.
