<p>Just asked my son, who is in his third year at Bard Conservatory how his friend, an amazingly good Hungarian bassoonist at Bard likes the studio, and he said his friend goes around telling all and sundry how great it is - I’d be happy to get his contact info for you when the time comes…</p>
<p>Also, the language departments at Bard College are wonderful. A number of the conservatory students are getting their BA’s in language studies. And the college is 14% or so international.</p>
<p>From your research you probably already know - but for others reading this the bassoon faculty are Marc Goldberg & Patricia Rogers - both of whom seem to teach at a number of New York area schools, including Juilliard.</p>
