Private Bass Guitar tutoring lessons Dorchester, MA.

I am a working bass player in Boston, MA. I have studied at Berklee College of Music for the past 4 years where I have accumulated a lot of knowledge on the bass, in music theory, and of the industry. I love to share the knowledge I have gotten from gigs, lessons, and school with fellow musicians.

25 year, veteran, Public School, instrumental teacher available for lessons on all band and orchestra instruments. Professional bassist, with extensive performance history. Specializing in Double Bass and Electric Bass Guitar.

I have worked with young children for many years.

Lesson focus on individual development of technique, music literacy and musicality.

I focus on playing bass like a bass player and not as a guitar player that plays bass just because he can't find anybody else to do it in the band. I teach mainly using examples and talk a lot about how a bass fits in with other players.

We're gonna play some grooves and HAVE FUN! I'm a professional musician and have been a performing bassist for over 20 years, and I hope to pass along some of my knowledge and expertise to you. I customize your lessons to your needs and what you want to do with your ability to play bass. I can prepare you for any genre as I include fundamentals (for example, scales and arpeggios) in your practice. I use these books for reference and/or lesson work:
- Hal Leonard's Bass Method-Books 1, 2 & 3 (Ed Friedland)
- Mel Bay's Deluxe Jazz & Rock Bass Method (Vincent Bredice)
I can help you learn how to play with a pick, how to "slap & pluck," how to sing and play simultaneously, and even how to sightread.

Wether you are shooting for the Hollywood Bowl or just want to jam out with your buddies, I am here to help you reach your goals! We will cover everything from bass lines and licks to basic theory and your favorite tunes.
