Whether it's learning your favorite bass line, or building upon new concepts, I will give you the tools you need to build a healthy relationship with your instrument in a safe and fun environment.

I teach fundamentals in the instrument and theory in numerous ways, that will fit the students needs. I am both classically trained (have studied with some of the top name solo bassists) and in jazz and improvisational music. I have a masters in music performance, and am equally trained in composition and harmony.

I employ healthy and efficient practicing and teaching technique through relaxation, gradual learning and individual approach. The lessons may also include theory, analysis, basic of advanced composition and many other aspects depending on the student's needs and abilities. The main goal is that my students are able to get fully engaged in the process of learning and enjoy every minute of it!

My name is Jerry. I LOVE music and passing my knowledge on to others. I have played many different instruments in many different kinds of bands. It all one major thing in common, it was FUN! If you are not having fun while learning an instrument you won't want to learn. Lessons can be fun AND educational at the same time. I have had many parents tell me I'm one of the best teachers they have ever seen. (A couple of them were public school teachers themselves). I truly want my students to succeed and I will do everything in my power to help them accomplish that!

My expertise and extensive knowledge of the double bass technique and repertoire will provide you with a unique learning experience. Lets have fun while learning and performing.
