darkandrew Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) I've finally gone and done it! I've applied for a new job in another school. If I get an interview it will be next week and since the job involves some teaching of music, there might be a chance that they ask me to play something. So, I'm after a solo piece for bass - 4 or 5 strings, that I could prepare just in case. Any suggestions?

xgsjx Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I'd play something that I'm already comfortable playing. For me, this might be Bach's cello suite BVV1007, Kurt Elling's The Waking or Beethoven's Fur Elise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never played the bass in a solo context before, only as part of a band, so don't really know where to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number6 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Take a look at Aram Bedrosian's website. He plays lots of solo pieces. home | Aram Bedrosian http://www.arambedrosian.com/phone/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Bach's cello stuff is beautiful, and readily available. I had to play a piece 2 years ago as part of an interview to teach for my local music service. I chose something that I'd already don't whilst at uni. A solo bass, chord melody arrangement of what a wonderful world, Steve Lawson plays a beautiful arrangement of this piece sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
