Beschreibung
Bessy Bass is a young double bass from Scotland who loves to travel and have
adventures with other musical instrument family and friends. As the central
character in the 'Around the World with Bessy' series of children's stories
with music, Bessy learns a little about the language, culture and of course,
the music of each destination she visits, as well as the importance of
friendship, kindness and inclusion. Through her books and spin-off show and
workshops, Bessy aims to sow the see of curiosity about the wonderful world
of music in the minds of her young readers, with the hope that they might
even be inspired to find their musical instrument. Bessy has been very
fortunate to collaborate with some fantastic musicians in the performances of
her workshops and shows, as well as in a variety of spin-off projects. Her
author, May Halyburton, also a highly sought after double bass teacher, was
inspired by David Heyes to write some pieces herself. She is excited to
collaborate with Recital Music and contribute to its ever increasing
catalogue with a series of short, themed pieces for the beginner double
bassist called 'Bessy Sings...' May Halyburton studied double bass at the
Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. On graduating in 1994 with a BA
(musical studies), a Certificate of Post Graduate Studies and the Eugene
Cruft Prize for double bass, she took up the post of sub principal bass with
Orquestra Simfonica de Balears, de Mallorca. Since returning to Scotland, she
has freelanced extensively throughout the UK as an orchestral and chamber
musician. May has a very eclectic taste in music and also regularly performs
and records with a variety of ensembles, groups and bands, covering a wide
range of genres and styles. May is a highly sought after teacher and works
with students of all ages and stages, with a special interest in mini bass
tuition. She is the creator and author of the children?s books with music
project, ?Around the World with Bessy.? which strives to sow the seed of
curiosity about the wonderful world of music in the minds of nursery and
primary school aged children, leading from the double bass.
