Over the years I have found that the traditional one-hour lesson per week doesn't really work well for either my students or me.  Progress is slow and not always consistent, so I felt it was time to do something about it. 

 

I wanted my students to have more support from me and their peers and create a community of bassists so that they don't feel that practicing has to be a lonely endeavor. 

This program is designed to help you find ways to perform with more ease, power and expression.  Working in a supportive environment, you will discover new techniques and ideas and learn to use body awareness to take your playing to the next level. 

​

The program is designed for advanced high school and college/conservatory bassists preparing for a career in music, and young professional bassists looking to expand their knowledge and musical horizons in this ever-changing world.

​

​​

This program is for you, if...

​​

• You are an advanced high school, college-level or young professional bassist entering the field​

​

• You are interested to pursue a career in music

​​

• You want to get ready to audition for college, orchestra or competition 

​

• You thrive for excellence and are eager to learn 

​

• You want to share your knowledge and be inspired by both the faculty and your peers

​

• You want a supportive and inclusive environment to explore and try new concepts

​

 

This is what the program looks like:

​

Each month you will get:

​

• Two 90 minutes lessons

• Two group technique classes

• Two office hours

• One studio class 

• One master class with a guest bassist

• You will be assigned a practice partner for accountability

• Opportunity to perform in studio classes, masterclasses, and final Recital​

​​

Also, you will have access 24/7 to:

​

• All classes.  They will be recorded so if you miss one you can view it later.

• Access to a private Facebook page for support.

• Access to a digital library that will have pieces with bowing and fingering, technique exercises, and much more.  

​

In this model of teaching, I find that you will learn faster and better and will build the confidence to perform at your peak!

​

You get 11 hours per month instead of the traditional 4 hours per month.  The way it works is that you get a 90 minute lesson on weeks 1 and 3, and technique class, office hour and studio class/master class on weeks 2 and 4. 

 

The beauty of this program is that you get the extra attention and support from your peers and me and build together a community of like-minded bassists!  

 

The price for this program is $1175 per month.

If you are already working with a teacher but are still interested in participating in the technique, studio and master classes on week 2 and 4, the price of the program is $587 per month
