Private Bass Guitar tutoring lessons Chantilly, VA.

Learn Bass Guitar to your favorite songs any style either by ear or by sightreading

Studying electric bass with me means you get customized lessons with your interests and goals in mind. Eartraining, technical facility, and a strong sense of groove/rhythm are honed to make great bassists that love playing their instruments. I teach any style - from jazz and latin bass to motown, rock, and metal.

I've been playing bass since I was 11. I have a degree in jazz performance so improvisation plays a key role in my lessons, but am fully capable of teaching any style. If you take lessons with me, we will certainly cover the basics of two finger style grooves, but can easily dive into advanced techniques like two hand tapping, artificial harmonics, chordal playing, three finger techniques, and slapping and popping.

Want to groove out to your favorite songs? Be able to play in a band? Be the foundation in any musical setting? I am your gal. I can teach many styles of the electric bass including funk, blues, hip hop, pop etc. I can also teach you music theory and how to improvise which will open the possibilities for how far you can go. I’ve been performing live as a bassist for many years and can prepare you for what you need to know to hit the stage and play with others. Our lessons will be fun and exciting and I will tailor them to your goals.

My classes are very flexible when it comes to what the student wants. I can go from just teaching very basic bass playing to advanced harmonic concepts and jazz improvisation. On the first class, I give the student the choice of controlling our lessons materials about what they want to learn. Or the student can choose to let me control our classes, in which I will bring my own materials and ideas in which we should work and will go through the whole academic process of learning music.

Rock and jazz and blues. Scales, walking, and chord theory covered.
