I teach with the approach that the zest for music can grow into a lifelong passion for any person if their interests are nurtured and challenged.

My string bass teacher was Charles "Slats"Sladovnik who was a carpenter by trade and played in the Great Neck symphony orchestra, and what we called club dates in that era.

In my case I soon learned that practice was taking one task at a time and trying to perfect it. Read More
