We will celebrate Lloyd Goldstein's journey playing for Cancer patients and the healing power of music. It is amazing to play such great and challenging pieces but, the true gift of music is when you realize what gift you have given another.
KC Bass Workshop was founded in 2010 by John Hamil in dedication to his mentor, iconic bass educator George Vance (Progressive Repertoire for Double Bass.) After years of attending George’s workshop, John was inspired to create a similar experience for the Kansas City area.
The workshop is a five-day annual symposium devoted to the instruction of the next generation of bass players as well as the instruction of strings teachers in the latest advances and innovation in bass pedagogy.
At KC Bass Workshop, we celebrate the sound of the bass. While bass players may go unnoticed, it is their artistry that aids the creation of a balanced and beautiful composition. The workshop allows bass players of all skill levels the opportunity to learn from amazing bassists from around the world.
“When we work together collectively as an instrument, it’s easier for us to make more progress on the instrument. We inspire each other, and learn from each other, kinesthetically, on an artistic and technical level by hanging out with each other for a week.” – JH
