We will use many varieties of books, etudes, exerts, concert pieces, and methods, to ensure each student is being brought to a better level than they started. Read More

Instruments: Bass Guitar Double Bass

For beginning students I focus on easily accessible music theory to tackle several key musical ideas at once; notes on the instrument, key signatures and scales, and the ability to read musical pitches and rhythms in music notation. Both electric and double bass lessons will begin this way. After this, the two diverge. If classical bass is your focus then skill with the bow and orchestral techniques will be explored. Read More
