Our mission is to instill in aspiring bassists of all ages and abilities a commitment to artistic and technical excellence through immersion in an energetic learning experience in a friendly, fun, and supportive environment. To inspire pride in their instrumental heritage, as well as an excitement for what each and every player can contribute to advancement of the double bass.
The American School of Double Bass® seeks, through the intellect, intuition, and inspiration, solutions to technical and musical problems to help the player focus on extracting the composer’s and interpreter’s artistic vision. This provides bassists the tools to make artistic decisions based on musical sensibility rather than technical limitations.
I am considering applying to your school. Please contact me with further information about your programs. Thank you.
The Oberlin College Conservatory of Music is the nation's oldest continuously operating conservatory, and the only major music school in the country linked with a preeminent liberal arts college.
