First I might want to present an excersise or scale to gauge the skill level and experience of the student. Depending on their level of playing we can move from there. Different possibilities may include working through a book, a piece, or learning excesises and or etudes. If needed, I can explain bow/pizz techniques and possibly explain the layout of the bass, including positioning and shifting.

I have participated in Midwest Young Artists menturship program where I taught an underprivliged student to play the bass voluntarilly and their head of the program helps me with teaching experience and has commented on my teaching. I've also taked music courses at wheaton college as a music performance major as well as playing for numerous different orchestras and jazz groups. I also currently play for a small group called Navi. 

Depending on the circumstances I can be flexible with pricing, but my standard pricing is 35 dollars for one hour and 25 dollars for half an hour. 

I started teaching when I was first hired by Midwest Young Artists to teach a young student . 

I have with worked with many different ages, from around junior high all the way into college age. 

I was fond of performing in Midwest Young Artists alumni conterct last winter, having the oppurtunity to see many old faces and play with an outstanding orchestra and conductor at ravina hall.
