The Bass Studio of Kyle Olmstead
Solo Repertoire
This is the primary focus during the lesson. Solo playing provides a good platform for technique and ear training, and is also a lot of fun.
Orchestral Repertoire
Orchestral playing requires a very different approach from solo playing.
Jazz and Rock
One of the great things about bass is how it is involved in almost every musical form. Jazz and/or rock is a part of most lessons.

Inspiration
As musicians, we must constantly look for inspiration. Gary Karr, Edgar Meyer, Francois Rabbath, Edwin Barker, Jimmy Blanton, Charles Mingus, and Paul Chambers are just a few of the bassists that have inspired me.
