I have been playing and teaching bass over 30 years, and I can show you the tried and true methods for coming up with a great bassline, including rhythmic approaches and techniques such as walking basslines, funk slap, theory including scales, arpeggios and intervals, and how to use inversions, bass motion and approach notes to strengthen basslines etc.
I can teach you any song you would like to learn as well, in addition to teaching you how to read bass clef, if you desire.
I have been singing and studying voice for over 30 years. I can teach you proper technique (using diaphragm, identifying register, timing breathing etc.) and ways to warm your voice up and down. In addition I will give you strengthening exercises, both musical and non musical, that you can practice anywhere as well.
We will cover ear training through singing scales, intervals, chords, etc. and much more. I can record you singing your song or over your favorite songs as well here in my studio.
You saw someone playing a ukulele and you thought, “Hey, that looks like something I could do!”
Well, you were right, ukulele is a fun, easy instrument to learn how to play, and you can play all your favorite songs on it as well.
I will show you how to hold the ukulele, how to play different rhythms, and I will teach you the chords you will need to learn to be able to play your favorite songs, along with melodies to the songs you love.

With my online lessons, we can cover everything we would in an in person lesson. I will write out the topics covered in each lesson, and I will send you PDFs of everything via email at the end of the day. I teach guitar, bass, vocals, and ukulele online, and I cover many styles including rock, blues, country and jazz.
A study published in the online journal “Brain” on September 20, 2006, showed that children who received musical instruction excelled above their peers in memory skills as well as ‘non-musical’ abilities such as literacy, mathematics and even IQ. Give your child a leg up and give them a fun, creative activity to look forward to each week. I can teach your child to read and write music, how to play simple songs to keep them inspired and even record them performing the songs and give you an mp3 or CD of the songs once mastered.
If you are looking at a career in music, I can teach you how to read and write music, all the theory with practical applications needed to excel in the real world of music, and I can show you how to put it all together to give yourself the best chance to get noticed by the music industry. I can prepare you for any college or music university auditions/entrance exams as well.
