Bass Lessons Snohomish County, WA

Instruments: Guitar, Clarinet, Drums, Bass Guitar, Ukulele, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I am a motivated instructor who is extremely passionate about music, learning, and having a great time while doing both! I have taught students ranging from 3 years old to 65 years old. My approach is that we work hard, but have a really fun time accomplishing our goals. I like to engage students quickly by showing them that they can learn to play something on their instrument very quickly, but then we dive in to the theory of what we just played. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Drums, Bass Guitar, Ukulele, Double Bass, Keyboard, Acoustic Guitar

I'm a musician to my core. I have love music since before I played it. I always like the bass guitar even though I couldn't play one (yet) and I really wanted to play bass once I heard Stanley Clarke play his bass guitar. I was blown away and I had to learn how to play bass guitar, which I did. I have traveled and performed around the world because of music. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Ukulele, Mandolin

I teach for several different schools in the Seattle area in addition to Musika. I've taught mandolin to an elderly woman who wanted to sing German folk songs to her grandkids, I've taught piano and ukulele to kindergartners, I've helped teenagers write their own songs and perform them to peers, and I've helped dads in their thirties to relive the glory days of Shoegaze and Grunge. With all of these students, I've helped them love the subtle, intricate, surprising parts of music and how to not only play music, but have their life enriched by it and share that with others.

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Trumpet, Drums, Bass Guitar, Keyboard, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

In addition to the recording and performing experience listed above, I've been a full-time private lessons instructor since 2010. I've taught at countless local schools, but found that the freedom of teaching completely independently (or, at most, through a referral program like Musika) can't be beat. The more of my *own* students I have, the more I can focus on each one, and the more time I have to plan out their progress. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Clarinet, Bass Guitar, Organ, Ukulele, Mandolin, Recorder, Double Bass, Keyboard, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

On guitar my goal is that the student can read in first position, play chords for five major keys and three minor, and to be able to improvise with a pentatonic scale. I start with the Noad beginning classical guitar book and the Guitar Workshop finger-style book (Hal Leonard). I also use various Hal Leonard and Mel Bay books depending on the genre the student is interested in. I use similar methods when teaching mandolin or bass. Read More
