Perspectives from the Double Bass Faculty:

My favorite part of UNCO is that bass students can study both classical, jazz, and starting this year (2017) bluegrass. We have 5 big bands, 2 orchestras, 2 wind ensembles, and many many smaller groups as well. This gives the student a huge range of experiences and challenges that will shape them into a successful professional bassist.

 

What Alumni Are Doing:

• A recent doctoral graduate just became the Bass Professor at Utah State University
• a recent undergrad student won a position with The Colorado Springs Philharmonic
