My Specialties
When teaching children, I prefer Alfred's method books for their accessibility and simplicity. I have a very deep knowledge of jazz and jazz history from classic new orleans to the most contemporary styles. I also teach classical music on the upright bass and piano and have students playing Beethoven and Bach regularly. I have a thorough knowledge of Western classical music history and as a composer, am an expert theoretician. I have taught rock and pop guitar for many years and have always found great satisfaction in helping students achieve their own goals-to play a favorite song, to form a band, to develop their songwriting.

Mom & Student
Isaac is terrific. He's been wonderful with my 4 year old son and very informative for me too.
We are enjoying our lessons a lot!
Real music lessons
I have gotten more out of a few lessons with Isaac than I have with any other music teacher. I know that I am getting well rounded instruction that will bring me to a real understanding of the bass.

A highlight of my week is my guitar lesson with Isaac. He is a knowledgeable musician with a passion for teaching. Isaac is incredibly positive and patient, which makes learning the guitar easy and fun. I would absolutely recommend him as a teacher - I have already learned so much!
