Aaron Shaul

Bassist Aaron Shaul has been an in-demand musician and educator in the Bay Area for 20 years. A musician known for his musical diversity, he is highly regarded for his ability to interpret the classics in professional Orchestras, improvise in all Contemporary and Jazz idioms, and meet the rigorous demands for high profile National Theater Tours.

His fluency on both Double and Electric bass has allowed Aaron a wide range of musical employment and recording opportunities. Contemporary highlights include opening for Pop Icons "Chicago", recording sessions for Skywalker Sound Studios, and the National Tours of “Beautiful, the Music of Carole King”, “Spamalot”, “Some Like It Hot”, “Back to the Future (the Musical), “The Outsiders”, and a year with "Hamilton, an American Musical". His diversity proved a perfect fit for ensembles backing famed English Soprano Sarah Brightman, classical crossover vocal sensation "Il Divo", the string orchestra for the legendary "Eagles", and performing the music of Grammy/Oscar/Tony award winning composer Stephen Schwartz, with Stephen himself at the piano. Aaron performs frequently with the Berkeley, Oakland, Napa, Bay Philharmonic, Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz, Modesto, Stockton, Merced, Reno Philharmonic & Ballet Orchestras, Berkeley Opera, and Opera Cultura. 

As a music educator, Aaron is a sought after Double Bass coach and clinician at many Bay Area public schools, including Berkeley High, Livermore High, Saratoga High, Mt. Eden High, Hayward High, James Logan High, Richmond High, California High, and numerous Jr High schools. For over 15 years, Aaron has been the featured Bass Coach for the Hayward La Honda Music Camp, one of the Bay Area's premier music camps. Aaron is currently the Lecturer of Double Bass at both CSU East Bay and Diablo Valley College.
