Learn from Great Bass Guitar Teachers

Hi, my name is Andy. I've been teaching music professionally for the past 15 years. In that time, I've worked with students of almost every conceivable age and ability level on a wide variety of instruments (ukulele, guitar, bass guitar, banjo, harmonica, piano) and am here to help make your musical dreams come true.

I am a dedicated musician with a strong passion for guitar performance and music composition. Since beginning my musical journey in 2013, I have focused on flamenco and pop styles, while also exploring jazz and rock. With an academic background in music and hands-on experience in teaching, live performance, and music production, I strive to grow both as an educator and an artist.

New York born and Nashville based. Perform and record with various reputable artists as a bassist, music director, producer, and/or composer. Have completed tours and recordings with various artists nationally and internationally. Experience teaching various musical concepts and instruments including bass, guitar, and musicianship.

I graduated from Berklee College of Music in 2016 with a dual degree in Performance, Songwriting and Music Production. In addition, I was awarded the Latin American scholarship after my audition to get into Berklee. Prior to my music studies, I earned a degree in Business back home in Lima University in Lima-Peru.

I’ve been teaching and performing music in the Washington, D.C. area for over three decades. My solo classical guitar performances have garnered me recognition, but I’ve also played in various musical ensembles, ranging from flamenco to jazz to rock. I studied Classical Guitar at Northern Virginia Community College and George Mason University.

Rafael Pareja was born in Lima (Peru) at 2nd of November 1972. When he was a child, he discovers his passion for music. At the age of 14 he started to take guitar lessons and took part in several school musicals as a guitarist in his home country. At the age of 16 he was on stage for the first time with his first own show project.

Performances or recordings with Smith Dobson, Jessica Williams, Larry Vuckovich, Eddie Henderson, Sonny Simmons, Mark Levine, Joe Henderson, Jamie Davis, Marvin Stamm, Kurt Elling and Tootie Heath. Live shows accompanying Bobby Rydell, Dick Contino, Julius LaRosa, Rita Moreno, Anna Maria Alberghetti, Pete Barbutti, Jim Baily, Jerry Vale, Diahann Carroll and Frankie Laine.

I am excited to begin teaching online bass students. I have performance experience as a Carnival Cruise Lines musician. Teaching is also something that excites me. I have had students of all ages, and enjoy teaching online or in person. Teaching bass is something I learned while studying music at DePaul University. Please contact me in order to start lessons!

Hi, my name is Aviv Porath. I'm originally from New York City, but have spent time in Shanghai, Rio de Janeiro, Tel Aviv, and Taipei. I have a music degree from Bard College, where I studied jazz composition, theory, and arrangement. I have a funk-fusion band based in NYC (where I am the singer/guitarist/composer), but we've traveled around the US and Canada on tour twice.

I have my B.M. in music education from West Chester University and have been teaching in person lessons since 2015 and online lessons since 2020. I have worked at 3 separate established music studios full time since 2015 and have worked with over 500 students during that time.
