My teaching experience dates back to when I was obtaining my Masters of Music Performance degree at the University of Colorado. There I served as a teaching assistant to my bass professor teaching private lesson in both upright and electric bass to undergraduate students. I also had to coach bass sectionals to the bass major students, focusing heavily on major orchestral repertoire and going into the detail of the minutiae. I also had to coach chamber groups which involved bass ensemble work, getting bassist to play together and listen to details of ensemble playing.

I customize my teaching to the individual based on their experience and expectations. We will always establish a solid form of technique on the instrument: for electric bass that being fretting hand drills and exercises getting used to getting around the fretboard, and right hand drills practicing alternating plucking. In addition to that we’ll dive into harmonic structure: learning the notes of the fretboard and the coo responding scales/arpeggios/chords that go with them. However, Most important is that the student is musically inspired, so after given this foundation we’ll always spend a portion of the lesson taking a deep dive learning music they want to learn; both how to play it and the concepts surrounding its conception.
