    About Alex L.

    During upright bass lessons with me, we'll craft a unique plan for you that will include: building strong technique, learning essential ear-training skills, forming healthy playing habits, decoding your favorite songs and how to make then come to life on the upright bass and with others. I have been playing the upright bass for more than half my life and love imparting half-a-lifetime's worth of knowledge that I've accumulated from trials, errors, successes, injuries, recovering and travels while touring and performing on the upright bass all around America with a number of bands. In my life I have studied: classical music, jazz standards, old-time fiddle music, bluegrass numbers, classic country grooves, accompanying singer-songwriters and much more. I am a lover of any music that can be traced back into the roots of the wonderful American music cannon. Come study with me and let's grow your musical roots while playing the instrument that most resembles a beautiful tree: the upright bass. See you in the low-end. ✌🏼-Alex
