Bass Lessons in Apopka, FL

Instruments: Bass Guitar

My method for teaching is and will probably always be a case by case basis for the student on what they want to learn/ where they are skill wise on the instrument. For example someone that is new to bass guitar I would start with the pure basics about describes the instrument layout and how to produce pleasant noise from the bass guitar. Where with someone with experience I would see what they need to work on and go from there. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Guitar for Kids and Bass for Kids methods. At the same time, I assign exercises that will help develop the students technique. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. I try to find out what kind of music the student is interested in, and guide my instruction to keep the lessons interesting and engaging. Read More

Each lesson typically has one large idea that is focused on, and given the proper amount of care, those big ideas transfer from fundamental technique to true music making. I also pride myself on being a very relaxed and inviting teacher. Each milestone is celebrated and whenever something difficult is overcome in a lesson, I make a point to remind all my students of what they're capable of, both in music and in life! Read More

I have been teaching for over 10 years. I have taught many students in multiple instruments and genres. I have a tendency for keeping students for many years and have had students go on to recording their own discs, music schools for college and taking their experience right to the stage for live shows. I encourage my students to develop their art and play live as much as they can. With over 25 years of playing multiple instruments, multiple music degress, constantly playing live concerts and writing music scores, I can teach and help develop my students in a way that will help them with their art and other aspects of their lives.

I have a few books I've become fond of (such as Faber, Schirmer, Hal Leonard, etc), but I have gone months at a time using no books at all -- keeping students happy. Not everyone prefers the same approach, and while I can offer expert guidance for those who aren't sure what to do, one of my main goals is simply to experiment with students, an attitude I try to foster in them too: You can work and work on some particular piece or song, but if you did it for extrinsic purposes . . .

When I assisted in the academy, and jammed with the kids who were learning drums. I looked at their faces and nothing brought more joy to my heart that knowing that those kids found passion in music; the same way I did when I was younger. I cant wait to teach more formal lessons specially now that Im older. Just teaching my first student and inspiring them into making music would be something amazing beyond any of the music accomplishment I have had thus far. Read More
