Hey everyone,
Just introducing myself. I am 16 years old and want to become a professional orchestral bassist. I currently study with Michael Hovnanian- Chicago Symphony member. I am in love with the bass and like I said DEEPLY want to make it as an orchestral bassist.

I wish I'd known what the hell I wanted to do with my life when I was 16. I'm 43 and still haven't figured it out.

Whatever you do, stick with it! I wasted my musical opportunities when I was in school and have regreted it ever since. It sounds like you are on the right track. Welcome to TB. The message board, not the disease. |

Sometimes it may be expressed in a seemingly abrasive tone. Try not to take it personally cause at the end of the day, people just want to be helpful. Welcome. |
