My knowledge of bassoon was pretty much zero until Frank Chambers entered my world. But, I did know that I loved the bassoon color and wanted it to be more present in my bands at McCullough Junior High. Frank’s approach to teaching the bassoon makes the instrument less intimidating for both band directors and their students! He is a master teacher for students at any age, any level. Frank’s students consistently reach high levels of musical achievement both individually, and in the ensemble. Not only did Frank teach my students, he made himself available to teach me as well. There aren’t enough words of praise for my colleague Frank Chambers. I am grateful for my 15 years of working with him. The musical moments we achieved together with our students are special and spectacular.

Frank Chambers is not only a highly accomplished professional musician but a MASTER teacher. His students enjoy their lessons and are very well accomplished in the state and around the country. His dedication and loyalty to his students and his willingness to help out his band directors is admirable!

Frank Chambers is a true professional in every sense of the word. As a former band director, current drill designer and marching band arranger, and running a successful basson studio in the greater Houston area, it is evident that Mr. Chambers is passionate about education. Mr. Chambers has been teaching our bassoons in the College Park cluster for many years now, and conitunes to mold great musicians every year - from big kids to little ones! Every year he amazes me at what he can get students to accomplish. Mr. Chambers not only teaches our students about bassoon, but teaches our staff as well. Bassoon is the instrument that we, as directors, tend to be the most insecure about. He creates a professional and personal atmosphere that allows me to ask the questions that I feel I should know and teaches me, not only the information that I need to know, but how to articulate to my students. I am thankful to have him on our private lesson faculty and grateful for his mentorship and friendship!
