Bass Lessons East Baton Rouge County, LA

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Bass Guitar, Keyboard, Electric Guitar

For Piano, I use several method books, including the Thompson Method, Shaum, Alfred, and Bastien. For Guitar I use Hal Leanard, Mel Bay, and several others. I also use interactive software of various kinds. And for Jazz, Blues and Rock improvisation, I use Band in a Box to provide backing tracks for the purpose of practicing improv over chord progressions. Band in a Box allows the student to simulate the experience of playing with a band in various styles and genres, with the possibility of change the chord progression and also changing the key and tempo.

I cater each lesson to each individual student and their needs/desires, therefore no lesson or student has the same lesson plan. I can teach for different instruments and various styles, so those as well as the student's personality/skill level all factor in to how I will teach them. However, 3 things that I pretty much universally teach to all students of all styles are 1) scales, the fundamental building blocks of all music; 2) music theory, every style has it's own version of music theory and it is immensely helpful in understanding how to play it; and 3) learning songs that interests the student, because nobody is going to want to stick with music if they are forced to play songs that someone else wants them to learn.

I must inspire every student to learn and engage with the history of music and its effect on culture and society. To me, music is a healthy therapeutic outlet for emotion and creative expression. I encourage practicing every day, and falling asleep with the instrument in hand. I praise my students a lot and complement every accomplishment. I love building their confidence and knowing that my student is progressing faster than expected. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Bass Guitar, Ukulele, Mandolin, Lute, Music, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

First of all, I love the Classical Guitar. I believe it to be one of the most (if not the most) expressive instruments in classical music. I’ve had this intense love with the instrument since high school. Sharing my passion for the instrument and its music has been one of my dreams since I began playing. Currently, I’m working on finishing my Bachelor’s degree in Classical Guitar Performance at UNO under Dr.Jay Kacherski. Read More

For me, it's about building or finding moments. Finding out what is going to motivate you to learn that song, practice that chord, and try to instill the desire to show it off for next time. Once I find out where the student is at, wether they are learning their first chords or songs, or they have been trying for a while or just getting back to their old habit of picking up the instrument, the goal is to set the mark where one will wait eagerly for the next lesson, to show off their new found skill.
