Bass Guitar is one of my specialties..

Fun and personalized lessons for aspiring bassists of all ages. Whether you are a complete beginner or advanced, my years of experience can show you a practical approach to learning music and exploring the bass guitar. Enjoy learning your favorite songs in a relaxed environment at my studio or online from the comfort of your own home. My students have many different musical tastes and lessons are always unique from person to person. Learn at your own pace. I build my program around your interests and goals. Become the musician you've always wanted to be and have fun doing it!

I have a good deal of knowledge in understanding the Bass and coming up with some good Bass lines within a groove.

Open and individualized lessons will teach each student in a unique fashion to fit them best. Chords, theory and musical reading will be the main focus of these lessons. My individualized approach works well for many students so that they learn what they want, how they want, and see the results that they specifically are looking for.

Students can expect to learn anything from basic chords to advanced theory and improvisational techniques on their instrument.

Although bass guitar is a secondary instrument for me, I have always taken much enjoyment in playing and teaching it. I have been playing bass for nearly as long as guitar and feel that it is a very important instrument that could be just as rewarding to play as any other instrument. My mastery over bass comes more from my time spent as a guitarist, however I do understand many nuances behind playing bass and can instruct you confidently on the correct/required methods as far as this instrument is concerned.

Each lesson is designed on the level of the student's ability from beginner to advanced. Rock, R&B, funk, jazz, blues, POP and country music. I like to use song learning as a vehicle to sharpen your skills. Learning skills through songs is more fun for beginners. More advanced students will work on everything from theory, reading, harmony; and how you can use scales and arpeggios in a number of ways over several different styles of music.

A lot of teachers don't take the time to understand exactly what their student want and expect from their lessons. I play and listen to all sorts of music and I know that different students have different expectations. At the start, you'll learn proper technique and how to play simple basslines, but after a while you'll be able to expand to different genres and more complex songs.

In addition, because of my background, education and experience I understand that different people communicate in many different ways. While in Ireland we may communicate in a certain manner, I am sympathetic to the fact that students from America, Europe, Asia etc may require diverse communication styles. I want to bring all types of people together playing all types of music!

Learn great bass lines of the masters as well as scale work and how to accompany a song.

Learn how to bring the groove and bring it hard! Every great band has an amazing bass player that is usually the BACKBONE of the band.

Lessons will focus on developing healthy habits in studying technique, ear training, reading, theory, and even history of the instrument/styles if desired.
