The Bradetich Master Classes (23rd Annual) is one of the longest running events
of its kind in the U.S. These classes offer a highly concentrated
week of study for aspiring bassists. Participants, who come from
four continents as well as all corners of the U.S., receive optimum
individual and group instruction in all aspects of double bass playing.
The classes include daily two-hour sessions dealing with technique,
orchestral repertoire, and the interpretation of solo literature.
In addition, bass ensembles are rehearsed throughout the week. All
full participants will have the opportunity to perform with piano
accompaniment and will be videotaped during the solo classes. The
master classes end with a grand finale concert featuring ensemble
performances by the participants and solo performances by Jeff Bradetich
and Lynn Seaton. These unique master classes are open to well-qualified
high school and college students and young professionals. Also welcome
are string teachers and older individuals who seek to rejuvenate
their love and knowledge of the double bass.
Three levels of participation are available:
Full Participant: (Limit 20) Participate in all
sessions and perform in the solo classes
Group Participant: (Limit 10) Participate in all
sessions but will not perform in solo classes
Auditor: No instrument. Will attend all sessions
and take part in discussions
