1002: Krista Kopper on excavating your creativity - a podcast by Jason Heath

Double bassist Krista Kopper recently released a solo, improvised double bass album titled  "Blessed Are Those Who Mourn" that was inspired by eight women who have been killed while running.

 

We dig into the story behind this album and much more.  Listen to her solo album as well as my two other improvised duo albums here on bandcamp, and give her a follow on Instagram as well.

Carnegie Mellon University Double Bass Studio – The School of Music at CMU highly values each and every individual who wants to be a part of an innovative fine arts community immersed in a top research university.

 

Every week each student receives private lessons and participates in a solo class with Micah Howard. Peter Guild, another member of the PSO, teaches Orchestral Literature and Repertoire weekly. They encourage students to reach out to the great bassists in their area for lessons and direction. Many of the bassists from all of the city’s ensembles are more than willing to lend a hand. Every year members of the Symphony, the Opera and the Ballet give classes and offer our students individual attention. Click here to visit Micah’s website and to sign up for a free online trial lesson.
