When I reach for a method book, it is usually Mel Bay or Berklee Music Press for electric bass and guitar, or The Simandl Method for upright bass. I like to gauge what level the student is at and go from there, making sure that they have a strong foundation of fundamentals regardless of what the student's ultimate goal is. Read More

This will include thoughts like where he or she starts to get bored, gets stuck, wants to explore more, has trouble, etc. Read More

I use methods I learned from my studies at CSULA and my personal experience over the years and learning various instruments and rehearing and performing with people from different age groups. Everyone can teach you something, it doesnt matter their age, a persons drive, discipline and curiosity will learn and can show others.
