Abstract: This project was intended to provide applied bassoon teachers with an overview of the foundational concepts of Edwin Gordon’s Music Learning Theory and to provide examples of how these concepts can be used to supplement bassoon instruction using the Practical Method for Bassoon by Julius Weissenborn. The following questions were addressed in this study: What are the foundational and most important concepts in MLT with which applied bassoon teachers need to be familiar? How do these concepts relate to music learning in general and the bassoon in particular? What are some examples of MLT-based methods and techniques that can be used to supplement traditional bassoon instruction? The primary concepts discussed were audiation, music aptitude, sequential instruction, and tonal and rhythm pattern instruction. Examples of supplemental methods and techniques included rote songs and bass lines, movement activities, tonal and rhythm pattern instruction, and improvisation activities.
