Bass Lessons in Levittown, NY

Instruments: Bass Guitar

I've been playing bass for over 30 years and still love picking it up to learn new songs, styles and various approaches to the instrument and the song. I enjoy teaching students and seeing the satisfaction from them as they get better and progress in their playing. I've been fortunate enough to having played bass through the years with (however brief) Ace Frehley from Kiss, Eddie Ojeda from Twisted Sister and various members of Cheap Trick, Anthrax, Black Sabbath, Frehley's Comet and Badlands.

I am an intuitive teacher: I have learned how to observe my students, their moods, their energy levels, and adjust my lesson plan on the fly. For instance, one student has ADHD, which I manage by injecting exciting new rhythms for him to mimic when I see his attention wander. I then harness that renewed focus towards the original goal of the lesson, whether it’s learning a new time signature or a complex cross-rhythm. Read More

My teaching style is very "go with the flow." Each day is a new opportunity to learn a little more about music and your chosen instrument.
