Homework
1 hour per week. I will provide assignments related to the work we've done in the lessons. Although it is up to the student to decide how much extra time they put in outside of lessons... the more they practice, the easier things will become. Spending as little as 20 minutes a day, a few times a week can really help the student develop their skills on the instrument.Class Experience
In this course we will study the Acoustic Bass or Electric Bass. If the student is interested in learning both instruments we can make that happen! The lessons will combine material that I provide for the student as well as pieces of music that the student would like to learn. I am very flexible with my lesson plans and try to suit the lesson to the students needs. For example, if the student wants to learn jazz bass, we wouldn't spend as much time using the bow as we would if we were studying classical music. I'm personally experienced in jazz, classical, pop, and many other styles of music and love to teach all styles.
Learning Goals
I believe music lessons should be a fun, positive experience. My own music lessons growing up were always something I looked forward to and I want to pass on that experience to my own students. Every student learns at a different pace so the lessons are tailored to meet the student's individual needs. My main teaching objective is to engage each student, encourage their love of music, and to inspire an ongoing sense of personal achievement.
