We have all experienced a time when we hit a “wall” in one aspect or another in our playing — it’s just a normal part of developing as a musician. Having said that, this wall will probably not disappear on its own — you are going to have to do something about it. The American School of Double Bass® has scheduled several Weekend Woodshed Clinics to help you climb over your wall, the same wall that your colleagues attending these clinics are facing too. Together, we will take the bull by the horns and make substantial headway in scaling the wall, or knocking it down entirely in a day-long immersion in specific aspects of playing the double bass.

We cannot guarantee that you will gain complete mastery of any given technique by the end of the day, though some players might, but we will guarantee that we go a long way toward achieving your goal. Perhaps more importantly, we will give you the tools to master the skill with study and continued practice at home.

Players of all ability levels and experience are welcome to all American School of Double Bass® events. All that is needed is an open mind, and a willingness and desire to improve your playing. Please join us for these events in the American School of Double Bass® home — a century-old restored Victorian firehouse near downtown Columbus. Group instruction will take place in the large, elegant performance space, where the old horse-drawn steam fire engines were housed.
