Hi there, and thanks for stopping by.

I'm an electric bass player and musician with a history of touring worldwide, playing rock, funk, and jazz. I graduated from Berklee College of Music with a Bachelor of Music. I am currently teaching and playing music professionally. I have had the opportunity to play on countless records and with many Grammy award-winning artists. My students range in ability from beginner to professional. Currently, I play in several bands in NYC and record and tour around the US and Europe.

Currently, I am only offering online lessons. I work with bass players and guitarists with a wide range of abilities, some are beginners, and I have some who are professionals. I can help you prepare to nail an audition or if you want to get into music and have fun. I tend to focus on making sure my student's learning experience is stress-free and fun (most importantly)

Some of the musical styles I regularly teach are Rock, Blues, Jazz, Funk, Soul, R&B, and Classical.

I tend to focus on learning songs instead of "boring" exercises. Although there are a couple of exercises I like to use, I make sure I put them in a playing context rather than playing it by itself.

You get more benefits from learning songs and working on a problematic groove or phrase rather than spending a lot of time playing nonmusical exercises.

Hope to hear from you and start learning some good music!
