In-demand NY session musician, teacher, and musical director Pete O has studied with many of the world’s top bass players. In addition to his independent studies at Berklee Music school, Pete has had the pleasure of studying with industry legends such as Victor Wooten, Chuck Rainey, Anthony Wellington, Adam Nitti, and Matt Garrison. Pete’s highlights include opening the Gathering of the Vibes festival in upstate New York, featuring James Brown, Michael Franti and Spearhead, Gov’t Mule, and the Allman Brothers. After his recent appearance on Fox Television's "Huckabee," Gov. Mike Huckabee, a bass player himself, remarked "You did such a great job. You should give me some lessons on the bass!"
Instruments:
For beginning students who are children, I start them with Hal Leonard Guitar Method Book One. This book helps the student grasp the fundementals of the instrument by teaching them common songs as well as different exercises. Once the student has a grasp of the instrument I like to tailor my lessons to each specific student. We will learn popular songs together, explore music theory, and improvisation. For adults and older students, I like to find out what each students goal is. The two paths that are commonly chosen are the hobbiest and the advanced student. For someone who is interested in guitar as a hobby we will focus on learing songs that they enjoy listening to, and how to recreate the guitar riffs and solos they love. For the advanced student we will begin to learn the guitar on an indepth level. We will explore advanced techniques, improvising over top of the complex harmonies of jazz and modern music, and other advanced concepts and ideas of music.
Instruments:
My lesson methods are dependent on the instrument, experience level, age, and specific wants/needs that the student has. For beginner students on piano, reading is required and the books I suggest depend on the student's age. Reading music is highly recommended for guitar and bass students to learn as well, but it is not as strictly taught. In each lesson I make sure to deal with technique or basic music theory/musicianship concepts. I prefer to leave the repertoire selections (what songs we learn) up to the student so we can apply concepts in a familiar context. I can always suggest repertoire based on the skill level of the student and what musical genre he/she is pursuing. In my experience, most adult students approach lessons with specific goals in mind. I make sure to gear each lesson towards those goals in a way that is efficient and fun.
Instruments:
My teaching experience started back in 2008. Before I even went to college for music. I learned a lot of theory on my own but I went to college to further my knowledge. I have studied orchestra arrangement, Serialism, as well as Classical, Jazz and Rock music. I am most experiences in Rock / Metal music. I've been playing Metal since I was about 13 and I started to look at more complex music when I was about 16. Once I graduated college I started to teach full time at various music stores. I later started my online teaching.
