Instruments: Double Bass

My method of teaching is to evaluate a student's level of technique, discuss the student's goals and areas of interest, and, in partnership with the student, develop a road map to establish realistic goals and practice schedules, and continue developing the students musicality and aesthetic awareness.

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

My teaching experience dates back to my high school time. I was the top student in theory class. So when my theory teacher is not able to come to the class, I helped with the class content.

I am very communicative, I especially talk to parents and kids so I can know what why I should choose to teach. Read More

Upon graduating in 2006, I studied under another great bassist in his own right, the late, great, Ashton Fletcher. Read More
