White Plains, NY Bass Guitar Lessons

Any levels from the beginner to advanced students would be able to learn how to play the bass from scratch or learn new techniques of playing on bass, from jazz style to funk and rock bass playing,

I will break down the nuances of learning the bass in a friendly, clear, and articulate manner. We will discuss various concepts of the bass guitar in the styles and songs you enjoy most.

I believe music lessons should be fun and engaging for students. I am excited to take you to the next level, whether you are an absolute beginner, intermediate, or advanced student. If you are interested in learning classical guitar, rock, jazz, heavy metal, or polka!

Bass lessons are taught one-on-one and from a beginner level to an Intermediate level. Ages of students start at 6-years-old and up. I have many adult students as well. It's never too late to start a new instrument.

I am an experienced bass guitar teacher with 10+ years of professional career behind me.

I'm looking for eager students of all experience levels and ages! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of good playing habits (learning the right songs that you makes you a better musician!). I specialize in rock, jazz and funk. I use some of my own transcriptions and the ones I acquired from Berklee College of Music, and also have the following tools available to use during lessons: sound recording equipment, sheet music, and more.

Let's plug in that guitar and play some smooth bass lines :)

My classes are very flexible when it comes to what the student wants. I can go from just teaching very basic bass playing to advanced harmonic concepts and jazz improvisation. On the first class, I give the student the choice of controlling our lessons materials about what they want to learn. Or the student can choose to let me control our classes, in which I will bring my own materials and ideas in which we should work and will go through the whole academic process of learning music.

Having performed jazz, funk, rock, pop, blues, Brazilian fusion, and classical among other genres, I use the fluidity between these inform each of my lessons. Whether a student is a beginner looking to play their favorite song on the radio, an intermediate looking for some music theory to give them more options in their playing, or an advanced player looking for improvisatory techniques, I tailor each session to the desires of each student and their learning style.

I have six years' professional experience teaching privately, and I specialize in Classical, Jazz, and Popular styles. I use a patient approach to accommodate each student's unique learning styles, challenges, and interests. While each student will have a personalized experience, all the necessary fundamentals will be covered, including technique, note reading, music theory, and ear training. Send me a message letting me know what your goals are. I can't wait to make music with you!

I teach groove and how to navigate around the changes both with blues, soul, funk and jazz. On fender bass not acoustic. I have been playing both guitar and bass for many years and have had my own bands as well as working behind many well known artists and have run many blues and soul,funk workshops teaching musicians how to play with others in a band context. also give online lessons for 30,45 minute durations.

I’ve been teaching and playing bass guitar for a vast majority of my life. Having studied for many years I know the approach that one must take to learn how to play and I have a structured way to lead an aspiring bassist to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the instrument. Whether the student wants to pursue playing as a career or just as a hobby I cover all the topics that they need to know to pursue their interest while having fun doing so. Some of the topics covered include: technique, groove, playing with drummers, learning music, gigging, scales/apreggios, practicing, playing different genres, etc. Lessons are fun and engaging and are catered to the students interests and needs.
