Music is one of the most important things in my life and am overjoyed when given the opportunity to teach and instill that into another student. I work with student's at their pace, with the thought in mind that my student is continuously practicing every week to improve and utilize past lessons. However, I do keep in mind a sense of reality with one's schedule, how busy they may be and the inability to sometimes make time to practice. Read More

My process is based on (but does not adhere strictly to) the Classical approach to Western tonal harmony and asks that the students develop certain fundamentals of technique and theory.  In my experience, this structure creates the strongest foundation for pupils to build the rest of their musical lives on, whether professionally or solely for personal enjoyment.  All of my students are on the fast track to studying music theory.

I love to get students excited about playing the instrument. The basics are important to learn but it needs to be fun first!

I love the Bass guitar and Double Bass and it is my goal to find and teach the students who have this same passion for the instrument.

I am a very relaxed individual and this transfers to my teaching style. Read More

My main focus is helping the student improve while enjoying the process. A musician is more likely to stick with it if it's fun. If it's classical on doublebass the book of choice is Simandl or something that teaches fingerings. Maybe the bassist wants to play jazz. That involves learning scales and patterns.Listening to the types of music you are interested in can be very helpful and fun and I like to encourage that. Read More
