Ball State University Bass Studio

The Bass Studio at Ball State University has a history of providing undergraduate and graduate students of the double bass a comprehensive education encompassing the broadest range of techniques and styles. Students are given ample performance opportunities from orchestra to chamber music, large jazz ensembles to combos, operas to musicals, and early music to electronic works. Weekly masterclasses and recital hours sharpen solo skills and the great variety of annual guest artists insure exposure to diverse perspectives. With a continuing commitment to expanding the horizons of the instrument, the Bass Studio at Ball State University remains at the forefront of the double bass renaissance.

"Dr. Sturm's main strength, I believe, is his understanding of what 'music' actually is and the fact that each individual's interpretation of music is different. He is very concerned with creativeness and genuinely listens to our input and suggestions as students."
