Bass Guitar with Todd J.

Whether you're picking up the bass for the first time or seeking to elevate your playing, I offer personalized lessons tailored to your needs. About me: I'm a Berklee College of Music graduate with 9 years of rock and funk experience. I play in the band Heavy Sleeper and learned under great teachers such as Anthony Vitti and Dave Marvuglio. I've also practiced hatha yoga for 5.5 years, which gives me a unique, sustainable, and whole-body approach to playing bass that will keep you playing healthy for decades to come. About my teaching style: If you're just starting out, we'll begin by developing a solid foundation of technique. Together, we'll hone the basics of fingerstyle or picking, and will explore the notes of the fretboard. For those looking to refine their skills, we'll dive deeper into the nuances of bass playing. We'll fine-tune your technique, expand your musical vocabulary, understand music theory, learn slap bass, and solo over chords. We'll work together to achieve your goals and unlock your full potential as a bassist. No matter where you are on your musical journey, my personalized approach ensures that each lesson is tailored to suit your individual needs and preferences. So whether you're a beginner taking your first steps or a seasoned player looking to level up, I'm here to help you reach your full musical potential.
