Bass Lessons Illinois

Instruments: Saxophone, Bass Guitar, Music

My main approach to music teaching is the setting of short term and long term goals and creating a plan towards achieving those goals. Both short term and long term goals are realistic, yet also challenging. I believe that all goals should push a student and require hard work but never be out of touch with what the student is capable of. Everything from a goal setting and planning standpoint is tailormade to each student to make best use of what time and resources a student has. Read More

I start lessons with new students by asking what they would like to learn and ask what their overall goal is so I can better adjust lessons to achieve the students hopes and goals. For beginner students I start with helping them understand the parts of the instrument which I believe can help a student better understand how it works and therefore how to better perform on it. I do believe that while scales, arpeggios, and exercises are very important it is also very important to create fun exercises that are actual music instead of just a scalar excercise, because at least for me playing scales for an hour a day is not why I got into music.

See for yourself! Not every teacher is the perfect fit for every student. I am an encouraging and creatively wacky instructor who sets goals for every student. It's important for you to feel you are matched with someone who cares about your musical growth and can communicate effectively using your learning style. The only way to know if a teacher is a good fit is by taking a lesson. I have limited space in my studio and am an actively gigging musician, so I look for students who are ready to learn and will dedicate time to their musical studies. Read More

A certificated and trained educator, I infuse my guitar lessons with pedagogical elements to effectively help the learner achieve success.

I teach to the students' interests, likes, and passion, continually providing encouragement in a calm and nurturing manner, and consistently acknowledge and celebrate each successful outcome and/or milestone.
