It’s all bass, all the time at the Hinton Institute. Dive into an immersive week of bass classes, performances, small ensemble work, studio sessions, lectures and workshops on the Montclair State University campus, from July 14-20.

Trade tips and techniques with other student musicians. Find your people — the ones who inspire you, motivate you and will be your creative community for years to come. Leave at the end of the week with a greater love of music and a deeper understanding of your place within it.

Summer 2024 marks the 4ª Milt Hinton Institute for Studio Bass, established in 2014, sponsored by NJPAC and hosted by Montclair State University.  As the winner of the inaugural Milton J. Hinton Competition in 1981, I am pleased to share Milt Hinton, and his legacy. In my role as founding artistic director, I am honored to be returning to the 2024 Institute in this capacity and am excited to join forces with NJPAC to present an outstanding program. I know Milt would be very pleased.  

The Milt Hinton Institute for Studio Bass (MHI) is designed for bassists aged 14-18. This week-long academy introduces emerging bassists to Milt Hinton and his amazing legacy of bass musicianship. MHI assembles the finest double bass performers and educators who interact, teach, and perform with emerging bassists. MHI clinicians all have an attachment to Milt Hinton and his life’s legacy. The Institute will close with a celebratory concert on July 20ª. Read more
