Teaching Bass Guitar Is My Specialty.. Been Playing & Performing For 35 years now!

I completed a degree in Jazz Studies from Michigan State, where I studied upright bass and bass guitar. In addition, I studied with some of the best local artists and bass players in the Seattle area, such as Farko Dosumov, Dean Schmidt and consider myself a well respected musician and addition in the Seattle music scene. Find me at local Jams like Mo' Jam Mondays, Capitol Cider, and the Owl n' Thistle

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.

Have fun laying down the low-down. Bass guitar basics at its funnest!

Hello, my name is Matthew and I am a student at Belmont University studying electric and double bass under some of the greatest bass players in the country and gain personal insight on their teaching styles as well as what makes great bass players. However, I understand that lessons with these professionals can be expensive and I want to be able to help students discover the joy of bass playing in the same way that I did. I treat each student individually and as the unique learner that they are and will create a curriculum for them depending on what they would like to learn! Of course there are certain things that I believe every student should learn such as scales and arpeggios and things the student shall be able to take whatever path they choose! Thank you so much and I hope to spend time with you diving into the amazing depths of the instrument that is the bass, both electrically and acoustically

I've been teaching Bass for 10 years. Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to play songs of your interest. I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!
