Celebrating our 8th anniversary - A message from Geoff Chalmers
This week, we’re celebrating the 8th anniversary of the beginning of Discover Double Bass!
Here’s a video of me performing one of my double bass study pieces, ‘Birds Landing’. You can download the sheet music of the piece for free below, too. If you want some help learning the piece, check out this tutorial video from 2016.
