I love what I do! I take pride in engaging students and bringing out the best in them. That is unique for each individual. I help students learn how to interact with music while focusing on the part of music education that has been scientifically proven to be most beneficial! Relationships. The music education process is a journey. As a teacher, through that journey, I strive to build a student-teacher rapport that ensures trust and accountability. Over time, this is tremendously satisfying for both myself and my students, and it also ensures the sucess of a student. I also thoroughly enjoy the relationships that ensue with family. The you...

Haley B. says, "Student Review: I’m a sophomore in high school and have been taking guitar lessons from Tom for 7 years. I started taking lessons with him in person and switched to online lessons 4 years ago when I moved away. He is an amazing teacher who took me from a complete beginner to a really solid player. I look forward to my lesson every week and learning new songs and techniques from him. Tom is a super cool guy and has made my guitar journey extremely fun. I recommend his lessons to anyone looking to learn guitar or improve on where they are now! Student’s Mom Review: I couldn’t be happier with Tom. He has instilled a love for music in my son. Tom pays close attention to the kind of music my son likes to make sure the songs truly engage him. As a result, my son looks forward to all things guitar: his weekly lesson, to playing on his own, and to jamming with his friends. Tom is also incredibly flexible; he is always willing to adjust lesson times to meet the ever-changing schedule of a high school kid who juggles several sports and other activities. Tom is the best!"

My students can always expect their first lesson to start with an assessment of their abilities. After I determine my student's level, we establish a goal and I create a personalized lesson plan for each student. Each week I go over what we had previously learned then start on something new. I send my students home with a detailed practice log & short videos to make sure they are practicing the correct way. At the end of the month I give my students an assessment on theory & performance. I have been playing professionally since I was 16 years old. I started with the violin when I was in the fifth grade and expanded my musical knowledge to oth

Tom S. says, "The top notch place to learn guitar, bass guitar, piano, voice, & violin. Young & enthusiastic instructors inspire student energy & commitment. Music style emphasis is on modern pop, rock, folk. The violin instructor is classically trained, so if you lean towards the Beethoven violin repertoire, she can get you proficient. Studio layout is spacious, modern and inviting. There's individual rooms for private instruction and larger room for group performances. Music lesson rates are reasonable, $25 per class. Owners are Mike & Matt Pinder, sons of the legendary Michael Pinder who is the founding member and mellotron player of the Moody Blues. So you know that world class music is in the guys' DNA. If you are a beginning musician or even an intermediate player who wants to get really good, this is the music studio for you. Go by for a visit, you'll be sold." Read more

  • Put less emphasis on chords and more on single notes and scales
  • Master your key genres like jazz, rock, pop, and funk

What age is good to start bass guitar lessons?

You can start bass guitar lessons for kids from the ages of 6 to 10 years old or whenever they can hold the instrument with enough hand strength to press on the strings. Any age is good for adults to start bass guitar with the right assistance and regular practice.

How many bass guitar lessons do I need?

The number of bass guitar lessons you need varies a lot according to what you want to achieve and how hard you practice. You could expect to play a simple song after 2 to 6 months. However, mastering the guitar professionally typically takes 4 to 10 years.

How do I find the best bass guitar lessons near me?

  • Request a list of other students they've taught to check their experience.
  • Ask other parents how their children feel about the teacher.

  • How many years of experience do you have in teaching bass guitar?
  • Do you offer a complimentary initial lesson?
  • What are the typical ages of your students?

Laura D.
As an adult who had never played a musical instrument in my life, I was pretty nervous walking in to my first lesson. Eddie has a kind and easy way about him, and he talked me through my anxieties. After my first lesson, I felt at ease and confident that he would help me reach my goals. I've now been working with him for over 2 months and I've already made so much progress with his guidance. He's very patient with me, and is very skilled in his ways of helping me through obstacles. Not only is he very knowledgeable, his passion for music and teaching is palpable. I have found that lessons with him are fun and catered to my own musical preferences and needs. I would definitely recommend Eddie to anyone hoping to learn a musical instrument.

Instructors who make music fun in many ways. In addition to our regular lesson, we love the student band classes where jazz, rock, blues, Beatles, and Theory get focused instruction. No other studio has this!
