Gaelen McCormick was heading up the Young Bassists Program for the 2017 International Society of Bassists Convention.  Gaelen is a past guest on the podcast, and we were able to find a few minutes to chat about her role at the convention as well as her new book Mastering the Bow, Part 3: Studies for Bass.

Check out all three volumes from Gaelen below:

  • Mastering The Bow, Part 1: Studies For Bass
