    About William T.

    4.0
    (1)
    My approach helps you become a versatile and capable musician. I have been studying music for 18 years, and have played a variety of styles including jazz, funk, R&B, soul, Latin, rock, punk, and pop. I have studied with many different tutors over the years, and have studied music theory and performance at both Sacramento City College, and City College of San Francisco. I am also currently a regularly performing bassist. I believe in exposing students to multiple approaches to musical concepts and methods, so that their technique and intuition can develop as organically as possible.
