Bass Boot Camp

You heard it here first:




What?!?!

I'm proposing this idea to you all:  After a lovely summer, spent doing what you love, eating ice cream, playing in the pool....aaaaah!.....it will be time to get your bass chops back in working order.

Why go it alone?  Let's get together for a day of refresh and remember all things bass!  Everyone will be welcome - from newbie to seasoned veteran, to get together and talk about easy stretches, natural posture in sitting and standing, drawing great tone, practicing advice at all levels of performance, and mini jazz lesson for everyone to try out, and a faculty recital at the end.

There will be two "tracks" happening - one for students and one for teachers.  Some classes will be everyone in the room working together on the basics, and some break outs especially for teachers to talk and demo pedagogy ideas.

So.....

Are you in?  
What specifics would you like us cover that day?

We are looking at the week of August 18, for one day only, and I'm working to get teacher's credit through ASTA for coming to this workshop.

Happy practicing!
