Aside from teaching jazz bass lessons through The New School and The City College of New York, I also teach privately, in person only, out of my apartment in Washington Heights, NYC. Lessons generally last 90 minutes. Please contact me if interested in taking a private lesson.

Concepts that I focus on:

• Body posture while playing

• Left and right hand positions

• Intonation and shifting

• Sound and tone production

• Ear training

• Energy, focus, and listening

• Scales, arpeggios and various fingerings

• Learning standards and jazz repertoire

• Building bass lines in a 2 and 4 feel

• Singing and playing a melody on the bass

• Soloing concepts

• Transcribing by ear and memory

• Listening to and analyzing masters of the instrument

• Professionalism and music industry advice

I welcome you to either rent or purchase my bass lesson offered through My Music Master Class.
