Bass Lessons Teller County, CO

Instruments: Guitar, Drums, Bass Guitar, Mallet Percussion, Orchestral Percussion

My style of teaching is personal and caring. Whether my students develop a desire to pursue music beyond our lessons, I care about their happiness and personal success in life. I develop a relationship with my students and I really enjoy it when I hear that they used a concept I taught them in our music lessons for something beyond music. I at least hope to instill a strong understanding and enjoyment of music in each of my students which they can share with the people in their life. Read More

I love making music with all kinds of people, but I now specialize in gifted and twice-exceptional children, adults who are re-starting an instrument after many years, family lessons in which each member has different a learning need or even a different instrument, and facilitating interactive musical events (such as community sing-alongs, drum circles, and eclectic ensemble performances.) My teaching style is Learning by Doing, and I employ mindfulness training, performance-readiness, breathing and stretching routines. Read More

The first thing I do when teaching a student is to learn what musical goals and aspirations the student may have. Then, depending on age and experience, I build a custom program for the student, which may include using various books, resources, and even materials which I have created. I have found that this is not only the most effective way for me to teach but also the most effective way to connect with students where they are and for them to learn at their own pace while also enjoying the process.

While I encourage regular practice, I understand that music lessons are not the only thing going on in the students life. The last thing I want to do is create an enviorment in the lesson based soley on home practice. I want these lessons to be fun and engaging, and as such we will learn practice techniques to keep it that way. Read More

Through the years, I have compiled sheet music that I wrote out myself of songs that were hard to find/and easier to read. I have hundreds if not thousands of these songs. I start beginner guitar with Neil young songs because they are slow and use basic chords. Also a Pink Floyd song. It has worked for years. From there I teach a Bob Dylan song and sweet home Alabama.
