Reviews
Great master!!! He explains in a very clear form how to improve our playing.
Même si j'ai déjà entendu jouer M. Núñez en personne et que j'ai aussi pu participer à deux de ses classes de maître, ce vidéo reste toujours aussi inspirant et instuctif!
I love Mr Nuñez's playing! The warmups have really helped my tone production.
Amazing video, it helped me a lot with basic bassoon technique, which is very important and most times we give for granted.
Good video.
