Private Bass Guitar tutoring lessons Cliffwood, NJ.

First of all, I want to know what are the students wills and objectives in music. Understand why they want to learn music and what are their interests. This is a major thing to me, to know the student. After that, I work my way by giving the student material that will improve their skills and knowledge. This can be done by several methods (classical, Jazz, etc) that I have or by assignments that I will create in order to solve specific problems. I also want to focus on specific music interests that the student have, by giving repertoire and musical examples that will motivated them.

Guitar and bass students can expect to improve week to week in their technique, music theory/harmony knowledge, composition and aural skills. Every student will have lessons adapted to their own goals and every single thing I learned at Berklee College of Music, one of the most prestigious music schools in the world, will be shared with students.

The lessons will be focused on: reading (notation and charts); improvisation; bass lines; technique; learning tunes; ear training; music theory.

A true bassist is hard to find and most bands in the area are looking for one. With the proper skills and technique, being band ready is not that far away.

I've been teaching Bass Guitar for about 15 years. I typically use the Hal Leonard Bass Guitar Method by Ed Freidland books 1, 2 and 3. Great set of books, Covers all aspect of bass playing. Early on, I like to introduce some Blues patterens for the 12 bar blues. These are easy to play but sound great so the students really like them. They give the student an idea of what they will be playing like. I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!

I teach bass guitar for all genres of music. Whether it be formal reading or just playing with a band
