My Experience as a Teacher

I'm a touring musician and have done so for as long as I can remember, I really feel that this enables me to offer you amazing lessons and help you prepare for anything.

I am proud of the fact that great and legendary artists and musicians alike find that they can trust me to execute my job as a bass player well. Getting the nod from my peers and colleagues stand out as a true testament to all my hard work, and I am very proud of this.

Watching my past students and mentees perform on world stages provides a great inspiration to continue mentoring and teaching those who show an interest in learning and perfecting their craft. That should be what we all aim and strive to do.

More About My Lessons

The first thing I remember was music and since then it has been a lifelong passion of mine to spread music around the world.

In between all this, I taught young and middle-aged students who were interested in either piano or bass guitar and found great pleasure in helping other musicians and persons interested in music to grow and learn. I have experience in multiple students and one-on-one styles of teaching.

Although I have no formal teaching papers, I have always managed to bring students closer to their goals in playing by ear and guided them in playing for their Churches, functions, and some even now tour the world with artists. I have used trusted teaching methods and am also able to tweak them where necessary to fit the particular student’s level and aptitude.
