Joey Pearlman (1996-2021) February 18, 2021: Dear friends and students of Low-C Bass Studio. It saddens me to tell you that my former bass student, Joey Pearlman has left us. The Pearlman family asked me to speak at his celebration of life ceremony. Here's what I wrote: here's is the link to my eulogy here's is the link to Joey's obituary in the International Society of Bassist (ISB). While in my classical teaching studio, Joey had performed high level solo pieces in annual studio recitals. Here is an embedded youtube playlist of Joey's studio performances.
