I use the teaching method as previously described, and try to tailor my style for each student. Everyone learns, practices, and progresses uniquely -- so it's part of MY job to figure out the best approach to help each of my students. My experience in both the civilian and military music communities has given me a very open-minded but direct approach to WHAT you should learn, and HOW FAST you should be able to progress each individual student.

Music is a whole lifestyle and multi-sense experience. Our everyday lives are full of rhythm and tone. We can discover how to practice with or without our instrument. In order to help students to understand what they are playing on an instrument it is best to show them how to internalize and relate the sounds to their emotions and habits. I focus on the spontaneous discovery of our own inner song. rhythm is the essence of any genre and any expression, no matter what instrument I will show my students how to listen to their "internal drummer".

For beginning to students I like to have them learn their notes on the bass guitar first and foremost. Once we have become familiar with the neck of the bass we introduce Hal Leonards's Bass Method Book 1. This will build our foundation for learning to read time signatures, notes in bass clef, rhythms, as well as playing complete songs. For intermediate bass students I like to gauge the level and tailor a program for that individual. Read More
