Bass Lessons St Petersburg County, PA

Instruments: Guitar, Drums, Bass Guitar, Ukulele, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I make sure that beginner students understand the instrument and start with the proper technique before they can develop bad habits. I try to pick a song or finger exercises for them each lesson as well as a few exercises where they can develop their reading skills. As a student becomes more comfortable with the instrument that is when we can get into more challenging pieces of music as well as different scales and exercises that will help them with their improvising as well as their overall understanding of music.

I have found the last few years very rewarding as students become musicians. Since my first student I taught in 2004, through the days I taught at a music school, up right on to the present moment, I love passing the music onward as it was passed to me. Being a multi generational musician, it's important to me to teach this great artform and pass it down through generations. I also like to let my students know that "music lasts a lifetime." Because, if my students practice the material five days a week, for a minimum of 30 minutes, their skills as well as confidence will grow. Read More

Every student is unique in how they approach and respond to music, so I make it a point to teach each individual student at their own pace. I also try to gauge what motivates and excites them, which allows me to better help them grow and develop in desired areas. Knowing these areas will help make lessons more fun, engaging, and rewarding for the students. When teaching adult students, I will accommodate them based on their goals, needs, and skill level.

I started teaching at an internship at PAI of Wyoming Seminary back in 2013. Then I developed my own private studio when studying in Rochester for my Eastman Undergrad. Finally, Hobart and William Smith Colleges hired me before completing that degree to teach at their fantastic school. I have taught jazz, classical, pop, and everything in between. I have no preference for teaching genres, just a focus on making sure the student is learning WHAT THEY WANT. Read More

I have been teaching upright and electric bass lessons to students of all ages and skill levels for nearly twenty years, and have a Masters degree in Music Performance and String Pedagogy from Northwestern University.

Students of mine have completed Bachelors degrees in music from top conservatories and gone on to successful full time careers. Read More
