Bass Nature Camp

Victor Wooten's Bass/Nature Camp
The camp will be packed full of surprises that will begin as soon as the student arrives. Our goal is to build awareness by keeping each student on his/her toes at all times, not knowing what is coming next. This awareness will greatly benefit you as a musician. We will do this through games, puzzles, lessons, blind folded exercises, and many other things designed to open up your mind and awaken the senses to the vast world of Nature, Music, Life, and You.

THEORY WEEKEND

Prerequisite: None
Instruments: All
Age: 15 & up
Catering: None
Cost: TBA

Music theory is a valuable tool that can enhance any musician's awareness, understanding, and ability, but is often taught in a way that is complicated and confusing. Participants will be divided into one of three groups - beginning, intermediate, or advanced - and will spend the weekend with qualified instructors geared toward simplifying and helping each student gain a complete understanding of all of the information given while also pushing the student further. This class is perfect for both players and teachers.

BASS/NATURE CAMP - 3 Week Residency
Date: July 19 - August 9, 2010
Prerequisite: None
Instruments: Bass
Age: 15 & up
Limit: 30
Catering: Yes
Cost: $3300.00 (price subject to change)

That’s correct – 3 Full Weeks!!!

Although the students at Bass/Nature Camp are given hundreds of techniques, theories, and tools, the information is meant to be written down and taken home for further exploration and practice. There just isn’t adequate time during the week to get good at most of it. At B/NC – 3 week Residence, the goal will be for each student to become proficient at ALL of the information given. This camp will be structured much like a college where the students live on site, attend classes each day, and are tested each week. Each student will receive a headphone practice amp and a drum machine - pre-programmed by Victor. Victor Wooten will teach 5 to 6 days of each week and will be joined by a cast of select instructors that will rotate in and out providing the students with a solid, well-rounded education and experience. The students will spend quality time with Victor, the instructors, and each other, as well as having plenty of free time, providing the best learning situation possible. The schedule will be intense, but fun – the goal being to push each student past his or her perceived limits. The 3-week class will culminate with a public concert performed by the students and Victor at a concert hall in downtown Nashville, TN. Are you up for the challenge?

“This is the class I’ve been wanting to do for years.” Victor

JAM WEEKEND
Date: Sept. 25 & 26, 2010
Prerequisite: None
Instruments: All
Age: All
Catering: None
Cost: TBA

A key element to Victor Wooten’s rapid musical development as a youngster was directly related to him having numerous people to jam with. On many occasions, Victor would get off the school bus and walk directly into to his garage where his brothers would be jamming with other local musicians. During the summer, these jams would literally last all day. Victor aims to recreate this experience by offering the Jam Weekend. Come join Victor and his friends and Jam – ALL DAY!
