Bass Lessons Indiana

Instruments: Bass Guitar, Shakuhachi

Being a bass player can be very rewarding. If you put in the work it can lead to work in everything from a standard rock band, to jazz groups and musical theater. Learning is fun and I am excited to help students achieve their goals. As a bass teacher my goal is to help the student get a grasp of good technique, reading in all the different types of music that they could encounter, understand the role of the bass in the band, and have fun doing it.

I have been playing since 1998 and have been in several bands from Indianapolis to here in the Michiana area. I am self taught on guitar and piano and play the cello, harmonica and mandolin but have extensive experience on the guitar.

In High School you counldn't get the thing out of my hands. Read More
