Bass Lessons St Petersburg County, PA

Instruments: Bass Guitar, Double Bass, Music

Especially for upright bass, technique and proper muscle use is of utmost importance. Ensuring a student will not injure themselves immediately or with continued practice would be covered first especially for beginners. After proper technique and comfort is established, we learn scales, sight reading, solo or duet pieces selected by ability, as well as any thing the student shows interest in learning. Also important to me is instrument maintenance! Cleaning your bass, bow hair, and properly humidifying the instrument. Read More

I love music and it should be fun for everyone. While I can teach the most advanced students, I really enjoy helping beginners and intermediates get started playing whatever music they love.

I create lesson plans specific to every student so they can accomplish exactly what they want. Read More

For my young kids between ages 6-10, I teach them power chord structures for rock n blues. We learn how to read rhythmic notation and apply those concepts to popular rock tunes. Afterwards [4-6 weeks], I brielfy take them through a book called "Rock Guitar For Kids", which teaches all the fun applications for modern, rock n blues guitar. For teens and adults, I design their own curriculum based on their music goals and the music they want to learn. Read More

Instruments: Drums, Bass Guitar

My diverse musical upbringing included piano, guitar, bass, singing, and recording in any style I could think of. I went on to play bass guitar at a professional level in bar bands and on cruise ships, and piano and organ at a professional level in churches. I've studied the drums voraciously for the past decade, playing rock and jazz with musically adventurous friends and colleagues. I bring the ears of a well-rounded musician to the instrument, and my deep experience as a bassist influence my choices at the drums. Read More

My priority as a teacher is to foster creativity, joy, musicality, versatility, originality, and collaboration skills - to help you express and develop your own musical identity through your instrument.

We will balance technical rigor with a deep respect for strangeness. Though the lessons will be moulded entirely to your goals, abilities, and stylistic preferences, every curriculum will rely heavily on ear training and listening skills. Read More
