Bass Camp

In keeping with our community mission, we actively seek opportunities to work in underserved communities. "Bass Camp" is a small-group instruction program designed to create opportunities for young people who are interested in the double bass. We address a critical access gap by providing high-quality, affordable instruction in a supportive environment. Our goal is to give young musicians the foundational skills they need to participate in school and community music programs, opening doors to a world of musical opportunity."
