    Bob is a great bass guitar teacher with a vast wealth of knowledge about music. He knows exactly what he’s doing and doesn’t waste time by allowing bad technique habits to persist with his students. In my first lesson he made sure I left the lesson knowing what I need to work on and what bad habits I need to work out. This direct and focused teaching was consistent with his teaching. Throughout the 2 years I was taking lessons from him he taught me extensive music theory, how to improvise bass lines over jazz, blues and bossa nova styles. Taught me slap bass techniques. Got me reading sheet music proficiently. And how to solo over jazz tunes. He also pushed me to learn bass lines by ear which helped me be a rounded musician. As well as just being a good person, he is definitely worth taking lessons with.

    Bob is an excellent music instructor! He has been giving my son lessons for more than a year and he has blossomed as a musician. Bob is professional and instills confidence and musical literacy/skill that only lifelong musicians can obtain and pass to others!
