Bass Lessons Mercer County, NJ

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Synthesizer, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I have experience teaching complete beginners to seasoned musicians. I have taught in-studio lessons, in-home lessons, and also have experience teaching private lessons. I have helped many students with reaching their goals, whether that is physically playing a particular piece, understanding the theory behind one of their favorite pieces, understanding how to create their own compositions, as well as other goals. This has been under many different genres like classical, jazz, rock. blues, funk, etc.. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Bass Guitar

I have been teaching bass and guitar professionally for the last 14 years. In that time I have had the privilege of working with a very diverse group of students. I enjoy helping them all find their niche and develop their skills as they not only become technically proficient on their chosen instrument, but also become better all around musicians. In addition to teaching privately, I worked as an instructor for the School of Rock franchise for several years, where i taught both private lessons and lead various ensembles. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Violin, Cello, Viola, Bass Guitar, Electric Violin, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

For my string students learning violin, viola or cello I typically use the Suzuki method books. There are times that I might recommend the Essential Elements series for those who are just starting off, but at some point I switch the student over to Suzuki. Another supplemental book I encourage my students to get when they get to a certain level is Essentials for Strings. This is primarily a scale book, but it also contains a number of other helpful exercises and resources. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Bass Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I am a method teacher and I don't teach based on fear like other teachers. All my students stay engaged and move at their own pace, at any level. This is very important! My course is called "The Geometry of Guitar". This approach to guitar could be descibed as a “Skeleton Key” for Guitar visualization, and is the result of 45 years of experience! This method also allows the student to see connections of shapes and forms on the neck as they play. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Cello, Saxophone, Bass Guitar, Double Bass, Keyboard

I took on my first student in 2007 and found that I loved it! In being an open minded learner, I made it a point to treat my students in the same manner; thus allowing me to develop highly individualized lessons, plans, and goals for my students. I made it a point to ensure their goals and needs were in line with any external deadlines. I would encourage students to keep practice journals and to record at home practices for reference.
