Private Bass Guitar tutoring lessons Des Plaines, IL.

I am here to demystify the music world--with my teaching methods any student can accomplish their dreams! First, we will start with simple techniques to embark on your musical journey and work our way towards our lofty musical goals together.

I focus heavily on time, attitude, technique and determination in my lessons. Being a bass player is arguably one of the most important parts of a band without taking the spotlight. I'll be sure to make sure you sound good in any situation!

I teach electric bass guitar using the Hal Leonard method. Also get students into learning songs, bass patterns and scales early in their learning.

Professional level coaching and development

I have been helping students reach their goals on guitar for over 18 years! I have been playing guitar for over 20 years and am accomplished on almost any style. My teaching methods help students achieve success because I adjust to each student's needs and abilities individually to create a great experience. I couple traditional teaching with performances offer professional student shows and concerts throughout the year to help enrich the experience!

Whether you want to play bass guitar on stage like a rock star or get funky like Bootsy Collins, I got you covered. I have over 10 years performing experience and 4 years of teaching students in various genres/styles of music. What makes my lesson style unique is that I ensure all of my students regardless of age or playing level are performance ready. You ask what is "performance ready?" This means as a student you will not only learn how to play your instrument well, but in addition will be taught how to operate your instrument, amps, and effect pedals. Your knowledge of sound and tone quality is essential to your success as musician. In turn, this allows you to properly convey your message as an artist to your audience. When it come to lessons, I customize my lesson plans according to the students goals. My goal as an instructor is to ensure that my students leave each lesson feeling accomplished, motivated, and that they've had fun in the process.

I have been playing professionally for 10 years and studied music in Sydney, Australia. I am an experienced teacher of 5 years, specializing in bass, guitar, and ukulele. All ages welcome. Each lesson will be built and designed around what you are passionate about and want to learn. Not only will you be playing songs in no time, but you will grow deeply in your understanding and application of music theory, ear training, technique, and more. Let's get started!
