ATTENTION BASS PLAYERS:
Hello Bassists,
There are still a very limited number of openings for the Contrabass/Doublebass Seminar Fellowship for study with me in June-July of 2010. Audition applications are due March 24, and all information and registration is on-line at:
www.contrabassfellowship.org
I hope you will consider applying, or will recommend that your students apply for the Fellowship. It is an opportunity for a handful of **excellent players** to receive intensive lessons and innovative training this summer.
These inaugural sessions are commencing in June, in historic Taos, New Mexico (USA). Particularly designed for those entering competitions or participating in auditions, the Fellowship provides for intensive, one-to-one, two-hour lessons every day for a week. Fellowship recipients stay in a separate and comfortable guest area. Transportation to and
from the airport, and a double bass if needed, are also provided as part of the Fellowship.
Please see the web site: www.contrabassfellowship.org
Again, I must receive applications by March 24.
