The influential double bass pedagogue George Vance passed away last year after a bout with pancreatic cancer. Influenced by Suzuki, George codified an approach to teaching younger bassists that has influenced countless players and teachers (myself included–I use his materials with all of my younger students). Here’s some information about the workshop:
