World Bass Lessons

Seattle WA

Description

I teach a structured 1-year curriculum devoted to learning the various World Bass stylings of the world. I was the bass player for Oakland Afro-Latin band La Misa Negra for 3 years: https://youtu.be/gFVNNOGc78o I am currently the bassist for Seattle World Soul band Mela Mela: https://melamelamusic.com/ Also played bass with Berkeley's La Pena Latin Jazz Ensemble and the Kent State University African Ensemble. I studied at the Berkeley Jazzschool. I play upright and electric. Lessons are good for beginners or intermediate-advanced players who are looking for inspiration or new ideas. Lessons start with Blues/Jazz and progress to Cuban/Cumbia/Bossa/Afro-Peruvian/African Styles/New Orleans/Balkan Styles. Lessons also incorporate how to write basslines, intonation, and technique. I have some students finishing this summer and will have openings beginning in August. $40/lesson. Remote or at my apartment in Fremont. Will also be willing to come to you for $75/lesson. Peace.
