Business Owner

Dwight Mabe began playing music at age 5 ½, starting on guitar. He learned to read music at the same time as written words. The first year was spent studying with a local guitar teacher in High Point who was well versed in every style of music from classical to jazz to country to rock and roll, as well as music theory. At age 9, he began studying classical guitar with Jesus Silva (student of Andres Segovia) at the UNC-​School of the Arts.

Around the age of 12, the rock and roll bug hit and he bought his first electric guitar and bass guitar. After the usual high school rock bands, he switched full time to bass guitar and double bass for the high school jazz band. Relying on 2 years of cello study, he taught himself to play double bass and adapted the classical guitar techniques to bass guitar.

Deciding to major in double bass, he received degrees in Music Performance and Music Education from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, studying double bass with Lynn Peters, profe
