Bass Lessons Shelby County, TN

Instruments: Bass Guitar

I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who would love to work with students and share my love of music with them. I recently graduated from Visible Music College with a Bachelor's degree in Music Production with an emphasis on Bass Guitar. I have performed at almost every major venue in Memphis (The FedEx Forum, Redbirds Stadium, The Cannon Center, The New Daisy, etc.). With my pop/rock band The Passport that I'm in, I have also opened for well known artists such as Hawthorne Heights and Shinedown. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Bass Guitar, Double Bass

I began teaching voice 6 years ago, while still in my own undergraduate studies. Teaching bass and piano quickly followed once I realized how much I enjoyed the teaching side of music. I learned to love music at an early age, which got me into taking lessons, and eventually learning the process that is required to move a student forward. Slow and steady progress in all areas of music is the way I have learned, and is the way that I teach. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Bass Guitar, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I'm a performer/composer who comes from a line of professional arts educators. Both my parents and one of my grandmothers are lifelong teachers in musical theater and modern dance respectively. I've learned a huge amount from them not only about my art form but about the skills required to be a good teacher, regardless of topic. Teaching is truly its own set of skills separate from the topic that someone is teaching, and treating this job as such is the difference between someone simply demonstrating skills and actually being a thoughtful teacher.

Instruments: Bass Guitar

I like to teach bass slow and thoroughly. I find that building a foundation of understanding and competence before moving on the to next subject helps progress later. I strive to keep the lessons and bass fun by not placing a heavy workload and stenous practice regiments in the beginning. Rather I hope the student practices more than I request in the beginning and as stamina, knowledge, and interest compound also compound the workload. Read More

The first question I will as a new student is "Why are you wanting to learn this instrument?" The answers vary from "I just want to play in a band" to "I would like to know more about music theory." Once we dive into why the student is interested in learning their instrument, I begin tailoring each lesson to his or her desired outcome. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for my students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument.
