Bass Lessons in Fountain Valley, CA

Instruments: Trombone Bass Guitar Euphonium

I have been teaching Trombone and Bass to students of all ages for over 15 years and still love giving students the tools and technique to progress and achieve their goals as musicians. Seeing the moment it "clicks" for a student and watching them improve as players and the change that makes in their own image and self confidence is one of the most satisfying aspects of teaching music. My professional career has taken me around the world and allowed me to do and see things I never would have dreamed. Read More

My method is a mix of theory and practice that we apply in every lesson, I prepare my material and provide everything to you to bring back home and practice when I am not around so after every class, you will have some homework to keep advancing in your journey when I am not around. Depending on your level, we start with the basics and start scaling to more advanced topics, we start from the beginning to build up your setlist so after your first few months you should be ready to do your first show, that could be in front of your family or if you wanna prepare for a real show we work towards that as well.

When studying with me, students can expect a comfortable and fun atmosphere that promotes experimentation and positive reinforcement. Employing a curriculum that is equal parts formal technique and informal playing of the students favorite music, I make every lesson engaging and exciting. After 3 to 6 months, beginners should expect to be able to play many of their favorite songs, have a firm grasp on basic scales, chords, theory and sight reading, and can even begin writing their own songs and improvising solos!
