Private Lessons Through zoom and in person in brooklyn, ny
I have been a professional bassist and educator for over 15 years and bring my experience from gigs into each bass lesson. Lessons are designed to work with the student’s goals and interests. In the lessons we spend time learning the songs students love. Students are taught music theory and how to directly apply it to the music they are interested in playing, including but not limited too jazz, rock, indie, reggae, hip-hop, folk, blues and progressive music. We focus on how to read music and charts, as well as other helpful tools for playing gigs or playing in bands. I provide a fun atmosphere and offer lessons to all age groups and playing abilities. I have a degree in bass performance from the University of Colorado Denver. For rates and availability respond to this post!

Student/Parent Testimonials
“Alex is a great teacher and a super nice guy! I've been a self-taught player for years and he is helping me unlock the mysteries of theory and the fret board. He quickly tuned into the way that my mind works and created a plan that helps me get the concepts that have been so hard for me to grasp with previous teachers. In just a few months he has helped me unlock knowledge, techniques, and abilities that have always seemed unobtainable to me!” - David B.
“I played bass for a few years a while back but then took a break for a few years. When I picked up the instrument again I wanted to work with someone who would fill in the holes in my knowledge and help me build a better foundation than I had been able to build as a self-taught bass player. The pro drummer in my band recommended Alex, so I went with that recommendation and I'm glad I did. Alex is he's helping me not just play songs, but learn exactly what I was missing: the foundation I need to be conversant with to play ANY song. I'm also a fan of really paying attention to detail, and he's great at that too. And although it should go without saying, I'll say it anyway: he's professional, punctual, responsive, engaging, and enjoyable too. Definitely give Alex a try!” - Adrianne O.
