I customize my approach with each student according to capability rather than curriculum and gravitate toward motivated students. Prior experience with a musical instrument is a great but beginners who are committed can succeed. Like students, I'm driven and motivated by small accomplishments and seeing the lights go on. I evaluate the student's ability in the moment at each lesson and try to give the student a solid, useful skill or technique each time....

Bill M. says, "Wow! That's my feeling whenever I complete a music lesson with Vance as my instructor. Vance is a multi-talented virtuoso when it comes to music and styles, being classically trained. Whether you are looking for the basics of a three chord beat, lessons in improvisation for rock or jazz, or are looking to become proficient in classical music repertoire, up to intense music theory, I have found Vance to be a great resource. He has the patience of a saint, the talent of a master, and is really easy to work with and study under. Vance emphasizes technique so that one doesn't start out with bad habits, and fall into the trap of not being able to progress to higher levels. I found this to be so important as time went on. I have personally worked with Vance for over 4 years. Started out just wanting to learn some riffs to add to rhythm, for songs of my age (70's prog rock), and within a couple of lessons, decided that classical guitar and technique were a better challenge. Vance is up for it all. He can pick up a piece of unknown music and within minutes, perform it practically flawlessly. But a teacher also has to be capable of adapting to a student's needs and playing/reading capabilities. Vance is superb at that; he's so talented. Long review, but if you've made it to this point, do yourself or your potential student a favor, and meet up with Vance. He is selfless with his time and dedication. What more could you want in a teacher capable of so many forms and styles of guitar or keyboards? A+++, 5 Stars! You owe it to yourself.. Beginner or Advanced or Intermediate! -Bill Moyer" Read more

He starts with your big picture goals and breaks them down into actionable steps that you can take feeling like it's going somewhere. This makes for way more efficient and exciting practice sessions.

  • 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.

  • Request a list of other students they've taught to check their experience.

Trevor is an amazing teacher! He works with you to make a plan to learn whatever interests you. I can bring in any kind of music or style of playing and he will help me learn all of the elements. He is happy to go as far into theory as you want or stay more high level. Also has been very helpful in transitioning from learning tunes to writing and recording my own songs. Highly recommend.
