Bass Guitar is one of my specialties..

Let's get you started on your new path to music!

Come learn about the different kinds of bass playing.. two-feel, walking, bossa and more! Bass is essential to my passions and understandings of music as it was (along with guitar) my first instrument, and I studied electric bass performance in Boston.

I have been teaching bass guitar for over 11 years and have played in bands and recorded for over 30 years.I provide a core curriculum of bass technique and music theory combined with customizing to the student's interest. From rock and funk to jazz and blues,

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.

I all levels on bass guitar as it is my second instrument. I have years of experience playing bass in the Los Angeles music scene. You can expect lessons tailored to students specific goals to help put them in the best possible situation for success.

Students can expect a lesson that explores their specific interests, from basics to any style you like. I have been teaching bass for all styles of music for over 15 years and I am excited to share my skills with others. Let me help you learn the bass skills you want and have a fun time doing it.

I am experienced playing all kinds of genres on bass from funk, rock, and jazz. Students can expect a well-rounded introduction to the instrument and how to play it, and how to maintain it. I like to focus on the music that each particular student wants to learn, and by playing music they like they also learn proficiency on the bass and the ability to keep learning on their own time. This will be done by studying songs, genres, performers on the instrument, as well as practicing listening and playing. Music theory will play a role in a helpful way, not as a burden.

I have 11 years of experience teaching students of all ages and specialize in beginning and intermediate students. I am a classically trained multi-instrumentalaist and studied music + theory in college. As a professional, award-winning singer-songwriter, I encourage creativity, songwriting, performance skills + developing confidence and self- expression.
