Private Bass Guitar tutoring lessons Howard Beach, NY.

My goal as a teacher is to give you the facility to express yourself through music. The key parts to developing this facility are:

1. theory -- if you know your theory, you know the best way to express your idea without having to think about it
2. technique -- the last thing you want is for your technique to hinder your ability to express your idea. Having good technique lets your ideas flow naturally

When you take lessons with me, you get out of it what you put in. Your job as student is to be honest with what you expect to achieve and my job as teacher is to give you the tools to achieve it

I play in a lot of styles of music. I play Rock, Metal, Jazz, funk, Pop, Surf, Country, Hip hop, and even Classical. I will teach all different types of warm ups for faster and great results . I teach music theory and also will be teaching how to sight read and use your ear. I teach at least one new song a lesson that matches your level so you will be able to practice and have fun at the same time. I will teach any of your favorite songs too that you request. Everything will be in accurate detail and will have the basic understanding of music

I employ healthy and efficient practicing and teaching technique through relaxation, gradual learning and individual approach. The lessons may also include theory, analysis, basic of advanced composition and many other aspects depending on the student's needs and abilities. The main goal is that my students are able to get fully engaged in the process of learning and enjoy every minute of it!

Guitar and Bass lessons

Want to groove on the bass? I am a freelance bass guitarist from San Francisco and I just received my AA in Music from Laney College. I'm working on my BA in Music at SFState and have spent the last couple years touring the country with Bay Area bands such as La Misa Negra, and Bang Data.

I have a deep love for groove-based music, including Soul, Funk, Salsa, World, and Jazz. I love to share my love for music with others and cherish the one-on-one student/teacher mentor connection. I teach beginner and intermediate students the basic foundations, proper plucking technique, slap bass, theory, and how to hold a steady groove that will have you playing with bands in no time. Shoot me a message and let's see if we're a good match!
