About LowNote Music
How It All Started
LowNote Music Publishing was conceived by Carl Torello—Anton Torello’s son and my bass professor—and myself, Dr. Anthony Jones. Through Carl, I was entrusted with an archive of Anton Torello’s music, including works that had never been published. With modern engraving tools and recording technology, I’ve been able to bring this music back into publication in a practical, performer-friendly way.
This page is dedicated to the legacy of Maestro Anton Torello.
The Mission
The mission of LowNote Music is to give professionals and students alike an opportunity to develop their skills in the practice performance of solo literature, and inspire them to reclaim their position in the music world. I aim to pass along important traditions in our music and the legacy of Anton Torello to the next generation of bassists.
A Bit About Me
I had the pleasure of studying with Carl Torello for six years while earning a Master's degree in Music Performance. I eventually joined a Master's program for Music Education followed by another for Music Technology. Upon receiving these three Master’s degrees, the State of Pennsylvania awarded me a Ph.D. equivalency.
I performed with the Immaculata University Symphony and Philadelphia Camerata Strings, and substituted in the Allentown Symphony, Harrisburg Symphony, and Haddonfield Symphony. I've also performed with the Serenata Piano Trio, a String Trio with Classical Guitar, and a Jazz Quintet. I was a music professor and orchestra conductor at Moorestown High School and a conductor of youth orchestras in New Jersey. I have worked as a low-string clinician in an orchestral setting and as a specialist in music technology.
These days, as a now retired Orchestra Director and Contrabass professor from Immaculata University, I continue to perform as the Principal Bassist of the Lansdowne Symphony and section bass in the Bryn Athyn Symphony. I also instruct a private studio of Cello and Double Bass students.
