Non-Playing Observers
^{(Parents / Care-Givers)}

Outline Schedule: See Above

In addition to our selection of day passes for double bass-playing participants, we are also making available non-playing observer passes for parents and care-givers.

These passes are aimed at parents of children under the age of 16; as well as for parents or care-givers of children of any age, with complex neurodiverse or additional needs. This pass would allow a parent or care-giver admission backstage to the event to attend the sessions as non-playing observers.

Certain members of our team are experienced at working with both young children and children / teenagers with complex additional neurodiverse needs within the context of double bass teaching and tutoring.

However, we actively encourage parents and care-givers of young and neurodiverse children to book this type of pass, if they believe their hands-on presence would be helpful and reassuring for their child’s individual needs and participation across the day.

We strongly encourage you to book a place and be part of this special day – you and your child will be made most welcome!

If you have questions about this aspect of the Cardiff Double Bass Day event, in relation to your child or your specific situation, please do not hesitate to get in touch by email with Daniel, our event organizer, to discuss further: cardiffbassday@gmail.com
