Experience Summary
My name is Mike and I have been playing the electric bass for 10 years, guitar for 8, and upright bass for 3. I offer beginner to advanced lessons on any of those instruments. I first began giving bass guitar lessons at the age of 16 after playing for only 2 years and advancing at an accelerated pace. I am a professional and perform several times a month with many different ensembles and musicians of various genres. Piano and voice are skills I have acquired through music college and I am also able to teach those two instruments at a beginner/intermediate level. I am still enrolled in college for music and continue to pursue my doctorates in music.
Teaching Style
My lessons are based on the specific needs of the particular students. Whatever it is a student wishes to accomplish, I am there to guide a path, whether it be strengthening particular techniques, learning a favorite song, understanding music theory, or simply learning how to play a new instrument. The enjoyment of the student is my main concern and their desire to play is dictated by the efficiency of their instructor in my belief (and of course the student's own drive and ambition to get better).

Hours are flexible and rates are very reasonable and most importantly YOU WILL HAVE FUN AND LEARN TO EXPRESS YOURSELF THROUGH YOUR INSTRUMENT!
