Double Bass College Auditions 2006

#161
[[This turned out to be a temporary solution, and starting this fall the school will have a full-time jazz bass teacher offering weekly lessons and masterclasses to the bassists among the jazz studies majors.

That's good to hear.

[[I can't say who it is because the official announcement hasn't been made, but hopefully good things will be happening here and jazz bassists will feel excited about coming to IU and learning alongside the excellent drummers who come here to study with Steve Houghton.

I know who I would have liked to have seen there. Too late for us but...

Congrats, Conor. That is quite a laudable feat.

I seem to remember that Esko Laine, a member of the Berlin Philharmonic, studied there. Do I recall correctly?

As far as I know that's correct. Most of the top Finnish classical musicians will have come through the Academy. Teppo Hauta-Aho studied there too.

here's my results:

Curtis: Not Accepted
Peabody: Accepted, $17,500 Scholarship including work-study
MSM: Accepted, No financial info yet
Cleveland Institute: Accepted, $26,000 Scholarship plus work-study
IU: Accepted, No financial info yet

my conductor in my undergrad advised me to stick to the school that the teacher fits and you get the most scholarship. peabody was my first choice since i've taken a lesson with weisner, but i've also taken a lesson with dimoff at cleveland and both are inspiring.

i refuse to be in debt forever, so my practical side says accept cleveland. but hal robinson is coming on board peabody's program again and that's hard to pass up. does anyone know anything about max's students? how about job placement?

thanks
