Double Bass
Scholarship
2021



MetSO Double Bass Bursary 2021

MetSO Double Bass Bursary 2021


* Applications Have Now Closed


MISO Double Bass
Bursary/Scholarship
2021

The double bass is the lowest voice in many ensembles. It is a very versatile instrument, needed in just about every type of ensemble: orchestral, jazz, rock, pop, bluegrass, and more. Many double bass players easily cross-over to also play bass guitar.

Although these features make the double bass a desirable instrument to learn, the cost of hiring or buying a bass is greater than for other string instruments, making it prohibitive for many students.

The MetSO Intermediate String Orchestra (MISO) is pleased to offer a bursary for students to start or continue with double bass lessons.

  • Free instrument loan (12 months)

  • Free MISO orchestra/ensemble membership (12 months)

  • Free lessons for 1 term

Applications close Monday 5th April 2021
