Bass Lessons Snohomish County, WA

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Double Bass

My teaching philosophy is: Music is inherently fun. My role as a teacher is to cultivate my student's initial musical spark and help my student learn what he or she wants while providing a basic musical foundation. By keeping music fun, students are more likely to learn more and challenge themselves. My style stems from this philosophy; I keep the music fun by focusing on what my students want to learn.

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

In my teaching style I have specific skills in technique, literacy and interpretation that I believe are important; these are drawn from traditional classical values and the folk elements I learned between ages fifteen and twenty-five.

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Trumpet, Trombone, Bass Guitar, Ukulele, Recorder, Orchestral Percussion, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

The dedication it takes to learn an instrument can help develop skills values that will benefit the student throughout life, regardless of profession. Therefore, I believe that the process of learning music is more important than any particular performance that we work toward, so I take a pragmatic approach to instruction. Of course, we look forward to recitals and concerts, because they give our rehearsals direction, but it should also be emphasized that our most rewarding musical experiences may happen in lessons or private practice.

Electric guitar is my main focus, but I am also very comfortable teaching acoustic guitar, electric bass, and ukulele. I specialize in rock, blues, pop, metal, reggae, r&b, and acid jazz. I have experience creating and teaching curriculums for students (ages 7-12) in an afterschool program called PRIDE. I also have been giving private lessons in guitar, bass, and ukulele for about 12 years now, 4 of those years being in person at local shops and in home lessons, teaching students as young as 5 and as old as 85!
