Contrabass training
If you want to learn this beautiful instrument, probably the first thought that comes to your mind is to enroll in a music school near where you live. Face-to-face classes have their own advantages and disadvantages. First of all, the face-to-face class you choose must be close to where you live, otherwise, the travel time and related costs will increase. The contrabass is a lesser-known instrument and if you live in small towns you may not be able to find a class to teach it or if you do find a teacher your hands are tied and you won't have many choices. To participate in face-to-face classes, you must have an empty schedule that matches the class time. As mentioned above, it can be very difficult to make a place of this size to participate in classes. Therefore, you may think of hiring a private teacher who will charge you more due to the conditions of the class. But we have a much easier and even more affordable way for you, which we will explain more about later.
Music in Chicago
Chicago, Illinois is the mainstay of music in the Midwestern United States, where distinctive forms of the blues style (responsible for creating rock and roll) and house music, a genre of electronic dance music, have developed. The "great migration" of poor black workers from the south to industrial cities brought traditional jazz and blues music to the city, resulting in the Chicago-style blues and Chicago-style Dixieland jazz. Prominent blues artists included Hollyn Walf, Jr. Wells, Maddie Waters, Sonny Boy Williams, and more. The greats of jazz include Net King King, Jane Ammons, Benny Goodman, and Bad Freeman. Chicago is also known for its soul music. In the early 1930s, religious music was introduced in Chicago due to the contributions of Thomas A. Dorsey and became popular in the Pilgrim Baptist Church. In the 1980s and 1990s, heavy rock, punk, and hip hop also became popular in Chicago. The Chicago Orchestras include the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Chicago Opera Lyric, and the Chicago Symphony. The Lollapalooza, Smoke August, Peachfork, North Coast Music Festival, Rebellion Festival, Chicago House Music Festival, Chicago Religious Music Festival, Chicago Blues Festival, etc. are some of the most important music festivals in this city.
