THE SENIORS

L: How was the process of learning the bass for you?

F: I started learning how to play bass the summer before junior year, so it’s been a little less than two years for me. It wasn’t a split-second decision, but it feels like it because one day I just got it with my own money. I was like, this is an investment, so I forced myself to learn how to play it because I’ve always been intrigued by how the bass sounds. Especially with my hearing loss, it’s easier for me to hear than higher pitched instruments like the guitar. I taught myself for about 6 months then I had a teacher for a few lessons, so I’m mostly self-taught.
