I love teaching the bass to students of all ages. I have students auditioning for universities, students that are just holding the bass for the first time, and everywhere in between. The approach I take is firmly grounded in the Suzuki Method, but is also heavily influenced by my experience as a performing freelance bassist.

In addition to teaching bass lessons I also teach orchestra to grades 5-8 in the Boulder Valley School District.
