Teaching Style
I teach since 2009 and I already had students from 6 to 68 years old and all levels.
I adapt my Teaching Style to every student depending on what their goals are.
I played in bands both with Double bass and Bass Guitar in the styles of Jazz, Pop, Soul, Bossa Nova and World Music but I have more experience teaching Classical Double Bass. I can however help you practice those styles and give you technical exercises.
Curriculum
For Upright Bass: all levels and ages welcome!!!!
For Bass Guitar I can teach Beginners how to read in Bass clef, how to explore the bass, how to play in a band. I cannot teach improvisation, slap and tapping. (for very beginners only)
