Double Bass Free Lesson on Snidero's Jazz Conception Etude "Rose"

[srbbass]

CT Music Educators Association (CMEA) uses etudes from the Jim Snidero Book "Jazz Conception" book (21 Etudes, not Bass Lines) for their annual High School Regional jazz festival auditions.

Here is a free video lesson I have created for those interested in studying the CMEA's 2025-2026 required bass etude "Rose" (a contrafact of Honeysuckle Rose) along with as some basic bass line creation ideas, appropriate for intermediate (or even some beginner) students. I hope you will enjoy and benefit from this.



If you or student wish to purchase the book, it is available here (I receive no compensation for this):

If you are high school student and are considering pursuing a music major or minor in jazz bass studies, I hope you will check out music degree programs at the University of CT ; hint: we're more than just basketball UConn is an ideal university for those seeking a double degree in music and another discipline.

Thank you Sir. I have student who is a senior in high school and looking at music schools here in Denver. Love your idea about the dual degree. I will suggest University of CT to him.

I don't want to sound off-point here but I'm chasing a bass transcription of Miroslav Vitous' WILL.
it 1st appeared on Weather Report's Sweetnighter, then a later version with DeJohnnete and Terje Rypdal. If anyone has a chart, I'd appreciate taking a look at it. My email: [email protected]

Nice work as always, Mr. Bulmer.
