With the closure of the Oberlin Workshops for renovations in 2024, we are excited to announce that Learning Trade Secrets will be hosting the Oberlin Bass Workshop! Unfortunately, there are space limitations so think about emailing and requesting an application from Jay VandeKopple at vandekopple@fordham.edu.
"Everyone teaches, everyone learns," is the basic principal established by Vakahn Nigosian, founder of the program at Oberlin. With this in mind, the Bass Workshop will bring together those interested in bass lutherie, with a mind toward sharing experience, knowledge, and ideas.
We anticipate that most participants will be professionals working in shops, perhaps bass specialists, or those in violin shops wanting to learn more about bass. The hope is that everyone will leave business and competitive concerns at home, with the belief that by helping each other, we raise the standards of our profession to the benefit of all.
