For Double Bassists
Audition-grade feedback for double bassists.
Record a take. Get a five-dimension panel verdict in sixty seconds: intonation in cents, rhythm, tempo, tone, and musicality. Written critique included. Double bass is fully supported.
How scoring works
Five dimensions. The same ones a real panel uses.
Intonation measured in cents.
Intonation is the first dimension scored. Pitch precision is evaluated across the entire take: whether notes land in tune, how consistent intonation holds through passages, and whether shifts stay on pitch. The result is reported in cents deviation, giving you a concrete measurement to track across sessions rather than a general impression of pitch accuracy.
Tone quality and bow control.
Tone and intonation are separate dimensions. Double bass tone depends on bow weight, bow speed, and contact point across a range that produces some of the lowest pitches in the orchestra. The Audition Simulator scores tone independently and the written critique identifies which measures had the clearest, most controlled sound and where bow production lost focus or projection.
Rhythm, tempo, and musicality.
Rhythm accuracy and tempo consistency are measured against the pulse your performance establishes. Musicality captures phrasing: whether the line has direction, whether dynamic contrast serves the passage, whether the performance communicates something beyond the notes. All five dimensions appear in the verdict alongside measure-level written notes on exactly where to focus next.
What you get
Everything a serious bassist needs between lessons.
Five-dimension panel verdict in sixty seconds
Intonation, rhythm, tempo, tone, and musicality scored on every take. The same dimensions a real audition panel evaluates, including for bass.
Intonation reported in cents
A concrete measurement, not a general note. Cents deviation gives you a number to track and a clear target for the next take.
Measure-level written critique
The critique names specific measures: where bow production was strongest, where intonation drifted, where rhythm lost its center. Not general impressions.
Practice teacher, any hour
After the verdict, a practice teacher walks you through the critique and builds a plan. Available any time you want to practice, not just once a week.
Score history across takes
Takes accumulate so you can see whether intonation, tone, and the other dimensions are trending in the right direction over time.
No account required for the first three takes
Record a take, get a verdict, read the critique. No credit card. No commitment. You decide whether it is useful before subscribing.
Common questions
What bassists ask.
Is Orchestra Kingdom designed for double bass specifically?
Orchestra Kingdom supports violin, viola, cello, and double bass. The five-dimension panel: intonation, rhythm, tempo, tone, and musicality applies to all four instruments. Double bass is not an afterthought: the Audition Simulator evaluates your take on its own terms, scoring what the instrument actually produces across its full range.
How does the Audition Simulator score double bass intonation?
Intonation is measured in cents deviation from equal temperament across the entire take. The Audition Simulator identifies which measures had the largest pitch discrepancies and whether they were consistent or isolated. At the low frequencies the bass produces, intonation demands are different from the upper strings, and the critique reflects what the take actually showed rather than applying violin-centric expectations.
Does it evaluate tone quality and bow technique?
Tone is scored as a separate dimension from intonation. Double bass tone depends on bow weight, bow speed, and the way the instrument responds to pressure at its lower frequencies. A take with accurate intonation but a thin or unclear tone scores differently from one with full, resonant projection. The written critique notes where bow production was strongest and where it broke down.
What auditions is this useful for?
Orchestra Kingdom is built for orchestral string players preparing for school orchestra placement, All-Region and All-State auditions, youth symphony rounds, and college audition preparation. The five-dimension panel mirrors what real audition panels evaluate across all string sections, including bass.
Can I submit any excerpt I am working on?
Yes. You record whatever excerpt or passage you are practicing. The Audition Simulator does not require a specific piece from a repertoire list. It evaluates the take on its merits across all five dimensions and returns a written critique with measure-level notes.
Does it replace my private teacher?
No. A private teacher and Orchestra Kingdom address different parts of the practice week. Your teacher meets you once a week. The other six practice sessions happen without scored feedback. Orchestra Kingdom fills that gap: every take returns a verdict and written critique so you know exactly where you stand before the next lesson.
Is there a practice teacher as well as an Audition Simulator score?
Yes. After the five-dimension verdict, a practice teacher reviews the critique with you and builds a plan for the next session. The teacher is available any hour and gives specific, actionable feedback every time you play.
How much does it cost?
Three Audition Simulator takes are free with no credit card required. The paid plan is $19 per month for unlimited sessions and takes.
What does the score history look like over time?
Every submitted take adds to your history. You can see whether intonation, tone, rhythm, and the other dimensions are moving in the right direction session to session. The trend is concrete: not an impression of whether practice is working but a measurement of it.
