Drew Pattison

My work spans many disciplines as a bassoonist, professor, and multidisciplinary artist via Soundpainting. My teaching focuses on precision and first principles, and is rooted in the orchestral bassoon tradition while pushing the bounds of experimentation and creativity. I have taught and performed at Oberlin Conservatory for 10 years and teach bassoon and soundpainitng at the Round Top Music Festival.
