String Bass Studio
Private instruction in string bass consists of one private lesson per week, either one-half hour or one hour depending on how many credits the student signs up for. All students are welcome, beginners (MUS 151 Class Lessons), non-music majors and degree seeking music majors.
Lessons in my studio provide students with the fundamental skills of instrumental playing and musicianship, the development of a clear, precise musical sound and experience with a variety of musical styles, periods, and genres. With weekly guidance, the student will achieve certain mastery of bass performance, demonstrate music performance at their highest level, and gain a deeper understanding of music teaching and skills related to pedagogy.
Students are expected to practice regularly between lessons and prepare weekly assignments.
Ninety (90) minutes a day is the minimum recommended. While you are preparing for
your lessons, you are also preparing for large ensemble, Northern Lights String Ensemble
or ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôº Symphony Orchestra, and chamber music rehearsals. The student will also
have many other performing opportunities: weekly masterclasses, weekly Music at One
performances, and end of semester juries, to mention just a few.
