About Michael

I have been playing bass for over 40 years. I was self taught and for the most part play by ear. I learned basic music theory in the 7th grade. My objective is to teach basic techniques to help the student with left and right hand coordination. We use basic drills to help students get a good sound moving up and down the fretboard from string to string. We also use a “hear, hum, find” technique to help students learn how to play their favorite songs, once we get through the initial stages.

Based on the students level of understanding, we deal with left and right hand coordination by practicing drills from string to string and fret to fret. Repetition is key. We work to get the student comfortable moving around the neck of the bass at different tempos, using different drills. We also teach concepts on how the bass guitar and the drums go hand in hand, by teaching how to lock in with the drummer to keep the foundation of the song strong. 



My education is based on actual experience. Our training is more technique than anything else. I have been playing for bands and doing lots of studio work for over 30 years.

The first step is to find out what they already know. Then, what are their goals. From there we make a decision as to whether or not it is a good match. They definitely have to have a bass and amp. If it's a good match, we set a schedule.



Beginners.



Make sure the teacher understands exactly what you expect of them. And, make sure they are able to deliver.



I have a student that I have been teaching for three weeks now. His right and left hand coordination is really coming together. He is enthusiastic about learning. I show him things that I know that he would have to reach for, and he's not afraid to attempt to work the technique because of how his confidence is growing through the drills we have taught.



A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Make sure you understand patience and process. Rome was not built overnight. The teacher as well as the student must have patience and understand that over time you will reach your destination if you never give up.
