    The Double Reed Project

    The Double Reed Project: Recruitment, Instruction, and Retainment of Double Reed Instrumentalists at the 6th – 12th Grade Level Arts Honors Undergraduate Thesis Austin Ahlborn The Ohio State University Dr. David Hedgecoth Advisor April 2019 Abstract The purpose of this study is to better understand how double reed instrumentalists are recruited, instructed, and retained within the scheme of public-school instrumental music programs. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with high school band directors. These directors were individuals who worked at schools with successful double reed programs within their overall band programs. Participants described the structure of their programs and individual approaches to double reed recruitment, instruction, and retainment. Interview data suggests that a number of factors influenced success among these programs including private lessons, the personality of the double reed players, and teacher encouragement and comfortability with double reed instruments. Interviews also revealed challenges that educators face such as knowledge of instrument specific pedagogy, bassoon and oboe reeds, and the nature of wind band repertoire, especially with respect to the bassoon. Introduction As integral parts of the modern-day symphony orchestra and wind ensemble, the bassoon and oboe are well known by professional musicians and music educators alike. These instruments have been part of standard instrumentation in orchestral ensembles since the 16th century and more recently in the modern wind band. The standard double reed section in professional orchestras and wind bands typically consists of two to four bassoonists, with one bassoonist who will double on contrabassoon when the instrument is called for, and two to three oboists, with one oboist doubling the English Horn as needed (Garofalo & Whaley, 1976; Reed, 1962).
