- Phelan Young |
I began playing clarinet at the standard age in public school and switched to bassoon as soon as possible. Simultaneously, I began receiving lessons in Baroque Lute from my father. My bass playing career began in my high school jazz band, and I soon found myself in every performing group that I could manage, which helped me to incorporate many styles into my playing.
I have performed with orchestras, wind symphonies, jazz combos, and technical progressive metal groups. My focuses are on a good basic technique for both upright (german bow) and electric, as well as advanced techniques such as double tap, three-finger method, and sweeps. I also concentrate on theory and reading through all registres from four to seven strings, fretted or fretless. I am also a classically trained bassoonist, and can teach repertoire, reed-making, and help students deal with the many issues of intonation and tone production associated with the instrument. I teach out of George Vance's Progressive Repertoire for the Double-Bass, Julius Weissenborn's Method for Bassoon, and Ed Friedland's electric bass method books through Hal Leonard, as well as my own method. |
