Bass Lessons in Franktown, CO

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar

I start with pushing students to develop good habits early on in their playing. I like to get my students playing songs in their genre of choice as soon as possible. This method generates interest in their instrument from the very begining. I select their repetoire based on what techniques we are currently working on and find songs that will force them to develop those techniques in order for them to effectively perform each piece.

Like I said above about my methods, my teaching style is all based around what YOU, the student, wants to learn, and YOUR level of knowledge/experience. If you want to learn a few songs to play along to and that's it, I can teach you how to. If you want to learn how to jam with friends and start a band, I can show you. If you want to really learn how to play and become a great musician, I can give/show/teach you everything I know. Read More

I am a professional composer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, engineer, and music teacher currently living in Parker, CO after a number of years living in Boston, MA and Jeju Island in South Korea. I graduated from Berklee College of Music in 2015 with a BM in Songwriting. I spend the vast majority of my time continuing my own musical education and subsequently spreading the joy and power of music with others. Recently, I've released an album of solo piano music called "I Dreamt We Fell In Love," listenable everywhere ^^ Read More

For beginning students who are children, I use a variety of methods, including Hal Leonard's Children's Guitar Method, Suzuki methodologies (I am NOT a Suzuki-certified teacher), and materials I've developed over my 25 year teaching career. I emphasize basic technique for the left and right hands, and I make sure they learn the basics of reading music. For older students (middle school-age to adult), I tend to let the student lead.

I always start with new students by assessing their level. For most beginner students, I introduce open chords and basic single note playing, eventually leading to chord progressions and basic classic rock riffs. Beyond this, I always tailor my teaching to a student's tastes, as I know the best way to engage a student and keep them excited is to show them how to play their favorite music! If and when students become interested, I love to incorporate music theory into my lessons, alongside the technical aspects of instrumental technique. Read More

As that progresses guitar players will learn how figure out their own chord voicings and bass players will learn how to move from one chord to another in a manner that keeps the music going forward. Drummers will learn various styles of drumming from basic rock beats through various Latin and jazz styles. Hand technique will be introduced little by little unless a student shows a strong interest in the benefits of proper technical execution. Read More

Through the years, I have compiled sheet music that I wrote out myself of songs that were hard to find/and easier to read. I have hundreds if not thousands of these songs. I start beginner guitar with Neil young songs because they are slow and use basic chords. Also a Pink Floyd song. It has worked for years. From there I teach a Bob Dylan song and sweet home Alabama.
