Bass Lessons Clark County, WA

Instruments: Guitar, Bass Guitar, Ukulele, Music, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I want to give the student what they want! I try to understand the students' short and long term goals first, then make a list, so we can check those off. If the student doesn't know what they want, then I generally want to set short term goals and go through the basics- chords, scales, rhythm, theory, proper hand posture etc. I try to encourage proper mechanics and fundamentals to beginner students as well.

As long as I have been playing ive been teaching. I actually surpassed my music teachers in elementary middle and high school and taught myself much of what I know through materials available to me at the school. I taught my recorder teacher how read and play the alto recorder and read bass clef.  From then I had multiple teaching opportunities such as youth groups, adult worship bands and private lessons.

I teach for several different schools in the Seattle area in addition to Musika. I've taught mandolin to an elderly woman who wanted to sing German folk songs to her grandkids, I've taught piano and ukulele to kindergartners, I've helped teenagers write their own songs and perform them to peers, and I've helped dads in their thirties to relive the glory days of Shoegaze and Grunge. With all of these students, I've helped them love the subtle, intricate, surprising parts of music and how to not only play music, but have their life enriched by it and share that with others.

I take one lesson at a time while careful to scaffold the information. I want students to improve, but I also want them to know what it is that they must do in order to become a competent musician. I can be tough, but at the same time, I don't mind changing directions and moving from say, ear training to sight reading or some other approach. At the base, I believe that rhythm is the most important concern for a student. Read More

For beginners, either children or adults, I like to begin by teaching you to play an easy song that is recognizable so that you are excited and engaged in your instrument right away. From there we dive in to a beginning instructional book that teaches you the theory of what you are actually playing. Then we take those concepts and expand in to more difficult music, polish your skills, and have a blast during the entire process. Read More
