The Peabody Double Bass department invites you to attend two events featuring Paul Ellison, co-principal bass at the Grand Teton Festivals, professor of double bass at Rice University's Shepherd School of Music, and one of America's foremost string pedagogues. Ellison will lead these two public events as part of a mini-residency at the Peabody Conservatory, made possible by the Levi Family Distinguished Visiting Artists Fund.
Master Class

Pedagogy Class/Demonstration for String Teachers
In this class/demonstration event, Mr. Ellison will work with local bass students, demonstrate technical concepts, and help string teachers find the best solutions for their bass students. Issues relating to setting up and maintaining basses will also be addressed in depth.
