I was fortunate to attend Berklee College of Music and Manhattan School of Music, and have studied and played with some of the most recorded musicians in history, around the world. My teachers as well as many past employers/bandleaders played with Miles Davis, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Ahmad Jamal, Duke Ellington, and more. I did not start my main instrument, the upright bass, until age 19, but since have travelled the world and played extensively. Because I started this quite late in life (though I have been playing music from an early age), I am well aware of HOW to teach the required steps to reach your musical goals. Much of my success was due to amazing mentorship I had, but I also had to learn many of the “ropes” myself. Now, I want to share my knowledge with players all over the world.
