Bass Guitar Lessons in Belltown. Amazing Teachers.

Oleg Ruvinov Teach: Tuba, Trombone, Baritone, Euphonium, El.Bass

I've been performing music for over 15 years. I've been teaching guitar and bass for the past three years. I like keeping guitar fun! I will work with each student's individual needs and goals. I like all kinds of music and styles so don't feel embarrassed if you wanna learn a Taylor Swift song or Old Town Road. I like pursuing what the student is interested in while still teaching essential skills like rhythm, note reading, picking, muting, etc. Reach out and lets chat about bass!

I've been a musician all of my life. I have a music education degree and have performed in professional ensembles. I've played bass guitar in a funk rock band, covering many Red Hot Chili Peppers songs, as well as others from the 90's.

I currently focus my energy on the acoustic guitar, however I feel very comfortable playing and teaching introductory and intermediate skills on the bass, including techniques in finger picking and slap bass techniques.

Curriculum will include technique, styles discussion, songs, and performance.

Want to play your favorite gospel & worship songs "by ear" at church? Want to learn how "sight-read"? I'd love to help you start playing and help you use your gift even more efficiently.
I'm an experienced teacher, specializing in the beginner/intermediate/advanced bass guitar student. Ages 7+ welcome. Lessons are constructed including helpful technique strategies catered to both the student who is highly motivated to play by ear in contemporary gospel church settings and/or the student whose goal is sight-reading. I will help you build a solid foundation of ear training, music theory and technique while tailoring to your personal tastes and goals. Ask me a question. Send me a message now. I'd love to help you!

I will work on technique,improvisation in jazz and other styles,classical repertoire, playing different grooves,constructing bass lines, and overall bass playing (accompanying)
