Bass Lessons Maricopa County, AZ

Instruments: Guitar, Voice, Bass Guitar, Music, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I take a very straightforward approach to teaching and I provide an example of what it can look like if practiced adequately. I ask my students what goals they have and formulate a curriculum based on where they want to be as a player. From there, we choose the best techniques, songs and artists to learn from. This way, students learn to really fall in love with practice and also playing and are thus encouraged to keep practicing. Read More

Every student has unique learning styles and musical goals and, rather than have a 'one-size-fits-all' approach to teaching, I always strive to design my lesson curriculum to fit the needs of the student, including the style that I teach, the pace at which I teach, and the materials that I use.

I am also involved in reforming music education by writing methods and curriculum which make music fun, accessible and relevant to all ages. Read More

It's important that students can still have fun when they're learning. That's why I give music to students that I know can be accomplished. When a student encounters a difficult series of notes or rhythms, I will break it down and help to make it more understandable. Read More

Most of my students (who don't already know) start off with basic theory (Major Scale & Major and Minor Chord Formulas). Whatever their ultimate goal for learning would determine where I would take it from there. If your goal is to play one song for your significant other we can do just that. If your goal is to perform we can cater to that as well. Maybe you're goal is to learn enough to write your own songs. Read More
