About
I love to work with students through transcriptions of songs that you prefer and love. I have found this to be the most effective if we learn the concepts and techniques to play songs you enjoy. I have had over 15 years of musical experience and can get you to a proficient level and have an efficient and effective way to begin to teach yourself.
I really enjoy watching students get to that next level. Music is quite the journey through peaks and lows and its very satisfying to reassure and guide them through the process. I have also been a professional live musician for over 10 years and helping students understand and adapt the concepts I teach into their own playing helps us connect with other musicians. Seeing my students grow their own art and bands is also very enjoyable to see.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
The first step is to understand what the goal of taking lessons is. Be it learning a new song, improvement on technique, or how to get started playing. I believe goal setting is very important and understanding what you want out of the instrument and music itself is also important. Or we can just jam, fun is the best way to practice.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have worked through the suzuki method on classical instruments as well as having multiple bass teachers and teaching styles. I have a jazz studies and performance degree in music as well.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
How did you get started teaching?
What types of students have you worked with?
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Determine what you really want out of lessons before you take lessons. This not only helps your goal process but also helps me understand what you want to learn. If you are simply looking to improve as a player I can help in this area as well.
