About

2reed.net provides over 800 instructional videos and thousands of educational resources primarily for bassoonists, teachers, and students around the world. The materials were mostly created by Terry Ewell over more than four decades, with some dating back to 1977. The website, which started in 2006, now contains materials in twelve languages.

Content on the website is available for free. Terry sees this as a continuation of centuries of donations by Christian musicians, who have shared their expertise as an expression of gratitude to God and love of others.
