Andrew Goins has been hard at work since the pandemic hit.  He recently launched the Texas Double Bass Academy, which is dedicated to the online education of the pre-college double bass student, and he has been putting together a compelling offering with many of Texas’ most renowned bass teachers. This new organization will host the Texas Double Bass Academy Online Camp this June 1-4.  This camp is made for students entering grades 9-12, and it is not limited to Texas residents. The clinician lineup is incredible: George Amorim Andrew Goins Nick Scales Dennis Whittaker   Additional topic presenters include: Travis Baird Grace Lewis Mitch Moehring Jack Unzicker   Learn more on the Texas Double Bass Academy website, and be sure to follow them on Facebook and Instagram!   Listen to Contrabass Conversations with our free app for iOS, Android, and Kindle!   I’d also like to thank the sponsors who have supported us over the months and years.
