This week on Kids Commute, we'll learn all about a great big member of the string family of instruments - the Double Bass - from our friend Gary Gatzke!
Gary is the Associate Director of Continuing and Community Education at Interlochen Center for the Arts. He's also the Principal Double Bass for the Traverse Symphony Orchestra and the Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra.
Gary shares lots of knowledge about the bass, and shares some of his favorite bass music!
We'll have a String Family Quizlet for you this week, too! Answer correctly and win a shout-out on air and a chance for your very own Kids Commute t-shirt!
Tune in Monday through Friday at 7:40 a.m. and 3:20 p.m. or any time below.
