Bass Day
January 12, 2025 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm EST
Join us for Bass Day! Students can get to know the largest instrument of the string family in one of two exploratory sessions. In addition to serving as the foundation of the string family in an orchestra, bass is a typical part of the concert band/wind ensemble, jazz band, theater pit orchestra, and it also has an amazing solo and chamber music literature.
Session I (11:00 AM–12:00 PM)
Recommended for ages 3–7
Enjoy an afternoon of stories, songs, and games featuring the biggest member of the string family! Bring your musical imagination and your sense of fun and adventure! Followed by a “Bass Petting Zoo” and Q&A for parents/caregivers to learn all about that bass!
Session II (12:00 PM–1:00 PM)
Recommended for ages 6+
Explore the amazing sound world of the bass in a fun, relaxed environment! This session will explore set-up and first sounds to help you answer the question “Is the bass for me?” (Answer: Yes!). Plus, a Q&A session for parents/caregivers that will cover common questions like “Can I fit a bass in my car?” (Yes!) and, “Do you have to be really tall to play the bass?” (No!).
