REED TALK Episode 29 features Dr. Nermis Mieses who is the Associate Professor of Oboe at Michigan State University and on the faculty of the Sewanee Summer Music Festival. In this episode, we have an eye-opening discussion about the benefits of using a cane hardness tester to increase your reed making success…something our bassoon friends have been doing for years! Music excerpts: Três Peças Atlânticas: Chorinho baiano by Eurico Carrapatoso performed by Courtney Miller; CPE Bach Sonata in A minor, Wq. 132, H.562, II. Allegro, performed by Nermis Mieses; and Le Prudent from Cinquième Suitte by Jean-François Boüin performed by Margaret Marco. Reed Talk is produced by Jason Slote.
