The Double Bass Workshop is a W 180th Music Group initiative that seeks to help the next generation of young bassists develop their musical artistry. It allows students to see, hear, and sense the processes by which world-class artists and pedagogues think, prepare, and build skills necessary for the journey toward musical mastery. In providing this educational environment, we intend to foster a sense of growth, musical exploration, and community, all of which are the fundamental building blocks of the complete 21st-century musician.
