    Double Bass Questions about the bass.

    Double Bass Questions about the bass.

    Ohh, I get that alot, too. My school has really ignorant people, and I can't tell half the time when they're joking and when they're not. If I walk down the hallway, I hear: "Look, She's got a tuba!" "Is that a cello?" "Why don't you just play a normal size violin?" "Is that heavy?"...

    Double Bass Youth Orchestra Audition- Aftermath

    That's good you got in, I normally have trouble with auditions, too. Around my area, most of the youth orchestras require us to do scales, solo, sight-reading, and then a theory & conducting exam. Recently I went to this college-camp thing, and when we had placement auditions, I thought...
