Nashville, TN teacher: Rachel C.

Review by Shelby

"Ron is a versatile musician and teacher. I've been playing bass guitar for over 15 years and Ron has helped me tremendously to "up my game" in to the chal

lenging and exciting world of jazz. His lessons are all very well structured and planned out. He gets an "A+" from me!"

Morrow, GA teacher: Ronald A.

Review by Dan

"I have been working professionally with Dan Brown for a few years now and I have to say, he is the finest bassist I've ever worked with. Primarily, he is

a brilliant musician and a master of his instrument. But more than that, he has a clear understanding of the music and can communicate musical concepts in a simple, straightforward way. I've learned a great deal from Dan since we began collaborating and couldn't recommend him more highly as an instructor."

...

Washington, DC teacher: Daniel B.

Review by John

"Gave me excellent instruction and direction for my future bass guitar practicing and development

After only five lessons last summer, I was not able to c

ontinue with Rob due to personal time constraints and lack of practice time, but during those lessons Rob gave me invaluable instruction, fixed my hand positions, took me in the direction I wanted to go, and as my last request from him, developed a very comprehensive long term development plan I could follow on my own, as time permitted. Rob was very patient and seemed extremely knowledgeable regarding the specifics of bass guitar technique and theory. Thanks, Rob, for giving me a direction and helping me get started the right way."

...

Austin, TX teacher: Rob R.

Review by Merrily

"Patient and clear directions to accommodate learning disability. Courteous, encouraging."

Lake Stevens, WA teacher: Matthew H.

Review by Rudy

"I've been working with David for a couple of months, and it has been a great experience. I'm new to bass, with a little guitar experience--he quickly siz

ed up what I knew and had me working on exercises and a great bass line that got me playing right away. He has been very flexible and accommodating of my schedule needs, and he gives plenty of positive and constructive feedback. I've been working in education for nearly 30 years, and I know a great teacher when I see one. David fits the bill, and I'm lucky to be working with him."

...

Seattle, WA teacher: David C.

Review by Steven

"Daniel is a excellent instructor. He's very patience, knowledgeable and easy to get along with. I cant wait for our next lesson to learn some more. I trie

d on my own and was going to give up but Daniel has shown me that I can learn to play bass."

Peter has exceeded my expectations, I look forward for my lesson every week. I honestly can say He is the best teacher I’ve ever had. I am a 44 yo violin beginner student who has had 5 teachers in the last 6 years, I didn’t learn much with them, this been said, with Peter in just 3 months I feel I have learned more than my other teachers. Peter is so, so patient and extremely professional. I am very pleased to have found such a wonderful teacher.

Peter has been teaching bass to our son for several years and our son has become quite proficient. It's a bonus that Peter is unfailingly upbeat, professional, and a pleasure to have around. He truly loves music and conveys his appreciation to his students - so much so that now my husband is taking cello lessons from Peter, too.

It was my first time ever being instructed for singing and Eric was super helpful! Looking forward to the next class!

Legit, one of the coolest people I've ever known. Deeply vested in getting you where you want to be. Eric helped me identify exactly where I wanted to go and a game plan to get to there. While our focus has always been voice, we've touched on guitar and even music in general (theory, production, business, etc.). If you've got a question, Eric has answers or deets on where to find them. He helped me organize and focus years of experience and practice into an effective and fun program, both in the studio and back home. Best part: dude leads by example. Rock on! \m/

I have been taking lessons with Andrew for almost two years. I have enjoyed every lesson and have gained knowledge and skill beyond my expectations!! Even when I’ve had challenges in practice time, Andrew meets me where I’m at and has the ability to make sure that I finish the lesson with challenges, new goals and guitar knowledge! I highly recommend him!

Mel is a very patient and knowledgable teacher. I feel like I fumble along at the beginning of a lesson but by the end Mel has improved my technique and timing. I would definitely recommend Mel to anyone who wants to learn or improve on their instrument!
