The Lynn Seaton Jazz Double Bass Workshop will offer an intensive week of study and performance opportunities for the jazz upright bassist.

Outstanding faculty concerts will be presented throughout the week. It starts with registration early Monday morning and concludes with the Friday evening Bass Bash concert where ALL the participants will perform. The Lynn Seaton Jazz Double Bass Workshop is open to advanced high school (14+), college, professional, and serious amateur bassists.

  • Between one month before the workshop (May 17) and two weeks before the workshop (June 3), refunds will be made less a $200 fee and the processing fee.
  • After June 3, 2018, no refunds will be made.
  • No refunds will be made if a participant is dismissed from the workshop for violating UNT policy or workshop rules explained on the first day of the workshop.
• The reason for these policies and deadlines is that the number of staff who must be hired and trained varies according to the expected enrollment, which is determined by the number of participants who commit to the registration process.
• Enrollment will be limited to 15 participants. Once that number of completed registrations with full payment is reached, no new applications can be started.
