My former student Tyler Bakken sent me this information about when and where double bassist Jeff Bradetich will be holding his summer master classes. It looks like he’s all over the globe with these activities this year.

From Jeff:

This summer, I will be teaching my master classes at three different
locations: in Denton, Texas; Seattle, Washington and Mittenwald, Germany. I
would like to invite you and your students to take part in any of these
opportunities for intense summer study of the double bass.

Very best regards, Jeff Bradetich
