Jazz Bass Workout Level 1 is open to all applicants. The focus is on jazz concept and execution. Developing your walking lines and soloing over chord changes is the primary goal. No prior jazz experience is needed. No material need be prepared in advance. Upon registration you will receive a suggested listening list of recordings.

Topics will Include: Technique, Walking Bass Lines, Ear Traning, Reading, Practice Techinques, Jazz Soloing, and Transciption
 

Daily schedule:

1 hour sessions, 45 minutes playing and 15 minutes break. Each hour we change topics. Every 2nd or 3rd session will be taught by a specific instructor focusing on his specific area of expertise and choice of material.

We will use two rooms, so we will do entire group sessions and then split up.

The faculty will perform in various combinations at our evening concerts. (maybe some student ensembles as well)
