I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where at an early age was exposed to several
kinds of music through my parents and surroundings. I attended the American School of Rio de Janeiro, where I joined many bands and explored many different instruments.
I started to study music (theory, acoustic nylon guitar and bass) more seriously, and
soon was performing locally with many artists from Brazil. After high school, I
decided to pursue my music studies further and was accepted to the University of Miami
School of Music. I studied theory, piano, arranging, and composition. I focused my
studies on jazz and also studied upright bass and classical with Dr. Lucas Drew. After
attending University of Miami from 1989 until 1994, I started touring, performing, and
recording with many artists. I also started teaching music then. Here is some of the work I have done since then:
2012 - toured with Brazilian legend Dori Caymmi
• 2011 - toured with Gary Valenciano and Martin Nievera (#1...

Hi my names Joel, I have been playing musical instruments since I was in the 6th grade. I'm coming up on my 11th year of playing. I started off with Clarinet, and I'm now in the Metal scene going around and gigging with some of the most talented musicians in the scene. I've played multiple festivals and hundreds of shows, but don't let my enthusiasm for guitar discourage you from taking lessons with me for other instruments! I'm classically trained in over 10 different instruments; Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Bassoon, Tenor Sax, Upright Bass, Electric Bass, Jazz Bass, Acoustic Guitar, Classical Guitar, and of course Electric Guitar; And any and all variations of those instruments; For example All types of Clarinets and all types of saxophones.

My education in music started in 6th grade on clarinet. When I got to high school I started taking a bunch of music classes. I was taking Marching band/concert band, Jazz band, and Orchestra all throughout my high school years, where our...

I'm surrounded by music and musicians everyday! I spend most of my hours recording musicians in my studio, but get the most benefit out of teaching students there. I Give my students the opportunity to not only learn to master their instrument, but also the chance to learn how to be a studio musician. Students of mine have the opportunity to record any of their lessons (that we hold in my studio) as i feel most students never get the opportunity to hear themselves play. I graduated from Ball State University under the instruction of Hans Sturm, former President of the International Society of Bassists.

I’m a professional bass player with a lot of experience touring around the world. Toured with Colbie Caillat, Andy Grammer, Redlight King, Ellis Hall, and lots of Jazz/funk/R&B/Pop musicians. I also do studio sessions and produce. Happy to teach everything from the fundamentals to in-depth theory, all style from slap to walking jazz bass, pop and rock, to latin and funk. I’ve been teaching for years and love helping kids and adults grow in to jamming, rocking, and writing on the bass. I also play and teach a few other instruments on a beginner level. As I said, I write and produce music at my home studio and am happy to share and teach my techniques. I write the lesson plans according to each student so that the student is learning what they want and need to know in order to have music at your finger tips. I've studied harmony and Jazz theory in college and have had several world renowned musicians as private teachers. I've been teaching for the past 5 years using the same...

Hello, My name is Cort and I love to teach music. I am currently taking on more students for the following instruments: Guitar, Drums, Bass. I have successfully instructed students from age 5 - 65 and gain tremendous satisfaction from helping my students achieve their goals of learning an instrument and/or progressing to a greater ability on their instrument. I teach beginning and intermediate up to the advanced level and all aspects of music (reading, writing, theory, chords, scales, modes, composition, and most styles of music). I have been playing and performing for over 25 years. I have an AA degree with a concentration in music education. I have studied privately with legendary jazz/fusion drummer, composer, and actor Alphonse Mouzon (drum set) and with guitar genius Julian Coryell (son of legendary jazz guitarist Larry Coryell). I have a teaching history of over 15 years and I would love the opportunity to share my knowledge with you and help you to become the best musician...

As a music teacher, I am very passionate about my trade. Not simply because I enjoy music or have a talent in the area, but because I literally love talking about, working on, and helping others understand music. I have had tons of real world experience in music, from teaching to performing, from composing to producing. I have taken this experience to the lesson room by making sure to adapt each lesson uniquely to each student. I like to take a very practical approach; conquer the basics as well as delve into song writing, theory, production, or technique at different levels based on the needs and wants of each student.
As for myself, I have been in love with music from a very early age. I started playing piano at the age of 5, being taught by my mother who was also a pianist. Early on in my teen years, I started playing in bands as a bass player and/or keyboardist and I have been hooked on performing ever since. I went on to get my degree in music from California Baptist...
