Michael offers both bass lessons in Boston and online bass lessons. His goal is to make the learning of music as enjoyable as possible. *** Lesson Details *** Our motto is, "Less Talk, More Music." For you, the student, that means you will be learning by ear. Your lessons and practice will be focused on making music by playing your instrument with play-alongs. The play-along CD's will be provided at no additional cost. By helping you focus on specific elements of music, we'll take the confusion out of the learning process by breaking music down into bite-sized parts, making learning stress-free and, most importantly, as fun as it can be. Having provided for students from ages 8 to 65, I teach with a focused approach designed around your goals and needs. The whole point of taking lessons is to make playing music more enjoyable. Whether you’re a beginner or you’ve been playing for years, we'll work together at your level and help you learn to play what you want to play. - Michael
