Instruments: Bass Guitar Double Bass

Music is one of the greatest gifts and skills a person can posses. I have been studying music my entire life, beginning when I was 3 years old. I started taking piano lessons in which I learned how to read music and learned my scales and modes at a very young age. At age 13 I was gifted my first bass guitar. I immediately started taking lessons for a few months before studying independently on my own. Read More

I am a firm believer in building the curriculum around the student since everyone learns differently and not everyone has the same goals. I start with an assessment to see where their skills are. I do this in 3 major categories: tempo, reading, rudiments. From there I can see what areas need to be focused on first so we can perfect the basics and have a strong foundation to build off of.

My process is based on (but does not adhere strictly to) the Classical approach to Western tonal harmony and asks that the students develop certain fundamentals of technique and theory.  In my experience, this structure creates the strongest foundation for pupils to build the rest of their musical lives on, whether professionally or solely for personal enjoyment.  All of my students are on the fast track to studying music theory.

Not everyone will become a professional musician, but I do believe, everyone's life can deeply enriched with increased musical comprehension.

If they want to master a song to play to a small group of friends, I'm here for them! Even if they have true aspirations of becoming a professional, I'm prepared to share both my knowledge of music, and any pertinent wisdom I've gleaned from my experiences. Read More

I allow students to work at their own pace while also setting realistic attainable goals. I want students to feel relaxed during their lessons so I try to establish an atmosphere that's both informal yet studious. One of my top priorities as a teacher is to understand what a student is most interested in and then focus our lessons on what they love. The best way to understand technique and theory is to apply it to something that you enjoy so I always try to attain this! Read More

It is my philosphopy that all people have the capacity to learn -- although not everyone learns at the same rate or in the same way. I believe in student-centric teaching meaning I try to find out what the student's goals are and then modify my curriculum to their unique learning style. No two lessons are the same! Read More

My main focus is helping the student improve while enjoying the process. A musician is more likely to stick with it if it's fun. If it's classical on doublebass the book of choice is Simandl or something that teaches fingerings. Maybe the bassist wants to play jazz. That involves learning scales and patterns.Listening to the types of music you are interested in can be very helpful and fun and I like to encourage that. Read More
