This course explores a broad range of musical styles, with a focus upon the idioms (rhythmic, harmonic and/or sonic) that characterize them. Additionally, various phrasing concepts for refining a bassist’s grooving and overall “emotive communication” will be covered. It is my goal that you would emerge from this class having a foundational working knowledge of these genres, as well as being inspired to further explore the vast spectrum of other rich and diverse musical traditions.
Recommended for the intermediate to experienced bassist seeking to broaden and refine their grooving abilities and ability to speak with their instrument.
