i believe the fundamentals are always THE MOST IMPORTANT! i want to make sure you have the proper technique that ensures the least resistance and the most comfortability so you can play for as long as you physically can! i want to make sure you have the theory knowledge to keep you sharp and ready for anything a bandleader might throw at you! i want to make sure your ear training is just as reliable as your playing is! i am willing to work with any genre and any skill level and am committed to find the learning style that is comfortable and effective for you ! looking to encourage more women and queer people to play the bass !!!!
