 Re: Advice for a beginning community orchestral bass player

This may be basic but I'd say be aware of what your part of the music is doing. You may be on the main beat with the low brass or providing a counter beat with someone else or supporting the melody and it is real easy to miss an 8th or quarter rest and that will change the texture of the piece or conflict somewhere along the line.

I know on a couple of those pieces the bass cl supports the 3rd clarinet, then switches to the melody line provided by the first cl and even the 2nd as is the case in Armed Forces Salute. Also beware of the easy ones, that's typically the pieces that will bite unexpectedly for the simple reason they are simple.

Have fun!

Best
Rick
