Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Synthesizer Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My style is to be open about the types of music my students can learn rather than forcing Mozart on them from day one. I create a relaxed environment without stress and complicated assignments that can feel like schoolwork. Music should be enjoyable for everyone involved. As a composer and arranger, I find it simple to take an established song and create an easier version for my student to learn. Read More
Instruments: Bass Guitar Double Bass
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
The main book I teach out of for upright bass is F. Simandl New Method for Double Bass. I am a little more regimented with teaching double bass because it is more demanding instrument to learn as it requires more rigorous training. It is important to take your time learning each position and working your way up the neck. However, once enough proficiency is attained I begin to jump ahead and incorporate other advanced techniques to paint the bigger picture. When it comes to the bass guitar, I have created my own method of teaching which I begin with a student assessment. Sometimes students have advanced technique but lack the knowledge of neck, as well as their chord/scale theory, and in this case I will have the student go back and solidify their fundamentals.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
My practice is mostly jazz related which covers a lot of ground and naturally strengthens all aspects music, including other styles of music due to its broad harmonic spectrum of musical language. More specifically most of my practice is tune based practice, so this will include transcribing, jazz language, as well as technical exercises and improvising. Practice isn't making music so it is important to put your practice into play. You cant only practice in a vacuum for the rest of your life, so it is very important to put your skills to use and jam and/or gig with other musicians and artists.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor Degree in Music Performance from Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, CA. I chose this degree because I have been preforming music since I was 8 years old. I began my musical journey by singing in a choir and eventually started playing bass guitar when I was 12 years old. I continued actively playing through my teens in jazz bands as well as other bands I formed with my friends. I realized when I was in 8th grade that I wanted to pursue music as a career, and ever since then that became my main focus and haven't stopped since!
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I don't have a dream piece to perform. There is so much music out there and I enjoy playing all different kinds. It can get a little dreary playing the same tunes over and over again so that why I get excited to perform and/or write new music. However, I really do enjoy playing some of my favorite jazz tunes. The thing with jazz is it never gets old. The tune is a vehicle for improvisation, and with improvisation, the playing of yourself and whoever you're playing with is going to come out differently every time, which keeps things fresh and interesting.
