I am committed to helping students of all ages and abilities develop their musical skills. If you are a budding electric bassist or string bass player, or if you are already well-versed in one genre and would like to develop in another, I have been down that road myself and I have helped numerous students achieve new goals.
I can help you develop as a solid jazz player, rock bassist or prepare your classical string bass solos and orchestral literature. I teach privately and I am very proud to be on the faculty at the Hartt School Pre-College division of the University of Hartford and also an Adjunct Professor at the University of Connecticut teaching Jazz Combos class and providing individual lessons.
In early 2020, I made this 20-minute video lesson for high school students who will be auditioning on jazz bass for the 2020-2021 regional festivals. I use the audition etude “Friends” – by Jim Snidero and apply the adjudication standards to elements of the piece, to help students prepare the best, and highest scoring, audition possible.
