About Me

     I am a bassist who was raised in Greenville, and started playing music seriously in High School. I love many styles of music, especially jazz, blues, bluegrass, and rock. Some of my favorite musicians are The Allman Brother's Band, Led Zeppelin, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Jaco Pastorius, Primus, System of a Down, Robert Johnson, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, the list goes on! My teaching method focuses on technique and learning how to play with other musicians well. As a bassist your most valuable asset is to be able to understand music quickly so that you can play basslines that work well with the music. I love improvising and writing music so I encourage students to become comfortable making their own music, especially in the role of the bass player. In addition to learning songs they love, students will learn how to adapt these songs and play them with their own style. This leads to students being able to play with friends and make a successful band. Playing with others is fun and that's what music is all about!
