Private Bass Guitar tutoring lessons Belmont, MA.

I earned MM in Jazz Performance, Bass Guitar Major, in 1993, and play/teach lessons for Bass Guitar since that time. My prospective students will receive rigorous training in both Bass Guitar performance and musicianship focused on the specifics of the subject of study. The level that we would begin lessons with will depend on the student's abilities and potentials. We will strive to create professional and friendly working atmosphere, and will begin lessons with careful assessment of the student's performing abilities; we will also set our goals, based on both individual expectations of students and on professional experience of the instructor. My teaching philosophy lies on three aspects; on patience with people; on love for the subject of teaching/study; and on rigorous training, offered to people, for their benefit and general musical development.

Students will learn about technique, mastering the fretboard, and especially how to play bass lines and grooves so it sounds comfortable

I am a lifelong musician/music educator. I have a degree from Berklee and I have experience teaching at the University level. I have been a private teacher for over 10 years and I have taught a wide variety of students. I love to teach!

My approach to teaching involves combining work on technical fundamentals and transcription. I find that starting with detailed technical practice makes the achievement of a player's goals quicker, and transcribing from recordings adds real playing experience and is invaluable for building musical vocabulary.

I have played the Bass since 2003 and have extensive teaching experience on the instrument. The bass is the foundation of the rhythm section in rock, pop and jazz. I help bass students develop a strong instrumental technique as well as an approach to the important role that the bass plays in a musical ensemble.

I've been playing, studying, and teaching bass for 6 years, and I can help you learn and play your favorite songs in any style! We can go over groove, technique, scales and arpeggios, learning Jazz standards, walking, improvising, recording and mixing your bass, using bass in your beats, and much more.
