About the course

As a bassist at Lamont, you will study with Colorado Symphony bassist Susan Cahill. Along with a robust performance career, Professor Cahill brings an innovative teaching style. Professor Cahill's studio emphasizes rigorous practice, frequent performance opportunities, and the study of both standard and modern repertoire. As a result, students are prepared to thrive in a variety of professional contexts.

　　As an undergraduate you have the option of exploring different contexts through our senior year recital 'Track' program. You may choose one of the following:

　　Multi Instrumental Techniques for bassists

　　Chamber Techniques for bassists

　　Orchestral Auditioning for bassists

　　Composition and improvisation for bassists

　　Not for profit Study for bassists

　　Pedagogy and Studio Creation for bassists

　　You may also choose to do a traditional senior recital instead of one of the above options.

　　Professor Cahill spoke in detail about her reimagined approach to senior recitals on the podcast Contrabass Conversations. Before joining the Colorado Symphony, where she has held section as well as acting assistant positions, Cahill was principal bass of the Louisiana Philharmonic in New Orleans. She is also a member of the faculty of the Colorado College Summer Music Festival. With Extasis she has performed as soloist at the BASS2010 double bass convention in Berlin, Germany and has had numerous solo performances in Colorado with Up and Musical, the Colorado Youth Sinfonia, and with the Colorado Symphony in 2002.
