"Álvaro Machado's method for contrabassoon has been an essential tool in my learning, development, and approach to the instrument. In a clear and simple way, the method presents informative texts about the technical aspects, accompanied by exercises. I can clearly state that this method has been a very important and essential tool for me, almost like a teacher, and I continue to use it whenever I have any doubts or difficulties. For these reasons, I highly recommend it to all (contra)bassoonists, whether students or professionals." – Isa Tavares, Academy of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Studying with the Method since 2018

"Through this book, I was able to find the true essence of the contrabassoon, not only because of the theoretical part which was very useful to me for the bassoon, but undoubtedly because of the brilliant technical exercises proposed, with the concern to do them according to the level the player is at. This book has also enabled me to achieve new goals and challenges in auditions and concerts, which I had previously thought impossible. I can only thank and praise Álvaro for his fantastic work." – Joana Maia, contrabassoonist with the TNSC Portuguese Symphony Orchestra, Studying with the Method since 2017
