Credentials/Background

I'm a dedicated bass teacher. My method is strongly based on bass lines: I think that the goal for every bass player is to read, write, transcribe, listen and create bass lines that fit the most important music genres in contemporary music. I use to make my students develope their skills in technique, music theory and ear training.
