Bass Lessons Culpeper County, VA

Instruments: Guitar, Bass Guitar, Ukulele, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I started teaching private lessons on guitar and bass in the mid-1970's, after playing for about 10 years. If you want to learn to play, you have to practice. It is a physical and mental exercise that is a significant challenge to any beginnner and and on-going project that you can work on for your entire life. That's why I emphasize, encourage and enable you with many methods and techniques to keep yourself focused on praciticing, rehearsing and performing so it becomes part of your daily routine.

I’m a firm believer in thoroughly covering all subject matter, including music theory and staff and chord chart reading. Learned in acoustic, electric and bass guitar and piano instruction, I incorporate computer-aided teaching techniques to capture students’ attention and maintain a logbook of student progress, supplementing reports with digital images of each student’s technique. I’ve developed a chord specific teaching methodology and created my own teaching curriculum. Read More

My teaching experience started in 2005 while still in high school, and I have been teaching consistently every since. While teaching I try to foster a fun and informative enviorment. For me playing guitar is one of the most fun and enjoyable things I've found. So teaching is my way of sharing the gift and joy that is music. I try to help students find that joy inside themselves too. Since I am so passionate about music I enjoy talking about it and sharing it with others which makes me engaging and enthusiastic teacher.

I have a variety of teaching styles. Every student has a different way of learning, so I adjust according to the student’s needs. I provide lesson plans, review lesson plans with the students, and demonstrate the lesson for visual. The student will learn how to tune the guitar, proper way to hold the instrument, and taking care/cleaning the instrument. Questions can be asked at any time during the session for clarity.

My preferred piano method is Piano Adventures and I recommend using the Lesson, Theory, and Sight Reading books at each level. For guitar and voice I typically do not follow any specific method unless the student has a preference. For more advance piano students I typically will begin using Suzuki or move them to Burgmller Etudes and Schumann's Opus 68 - Album for the Young. I perform an assessment of new students in the areas of sight reading, music theory, rhythm, performance, and ear training. Read More
