Private Bass Guitar tutoring lessons Atlasburg, PA.

I've been teaching Bass Guitar for 30+ years and my students have gone on to play in bands and work with major artists. Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to know you way around the instrument and as time goes on you'll be able to play what you hear and want to play. I specialize in Pop, Rock & R&B and I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!

I hold a Masters Degree in Music, am a certified North Carolina Teacher, and have been playing the guitar for the past 15 years. We will figure out at what level you are currently playing within the first lessons and then decide together what you want to focus on. This is YOUR lesson, and I am here to guide you down the path that you choose.

My teaching style is relaxed but with a firm accent on Practicing specific techniques as well as approaches to Creativity. I teach Blues, beginning Jazz, Pop, Rock, and Experimental techniques. I know some "slap" and "snap" techniques for Funk. I am fluent with either the use of a guitar pick or fingers.

We bring 17+ years of experience to table in both teaching and professional industry work.

I am 48 years old and have been playing Bass since 9 years of age. I’ve played classical and jazz professionally since I was 14 years old. I play Electric as well as String Bass. I am currently a resident Bassist at the legendary Preservation Hall Jazz Club in New Orleans LA since year 2000. I tour extensively having performed in many countries around the world. I teach adults as well as children and feel it is an opportunity for me to give back to the world that which music and more specifically the Bass has given me.

I am a college-educated bass player with a background in audio engineering and acoustics, so I can teach you not only how to play, but why techniques matter! There is no better way to learn than to have multiple perspectives, and as a mostly self-taught player, I believe that allows me to help others when traditional methods aren't sufficient. On top of that, I'm very chill and just looking to help people appreciate the bass guitar!
