==> CREATIVE BASS GUITAR LESSONS - Good Teaching, Convenient Locations, Reasonable Rates <==

* Can creativity be taught? To a great degree, I think it can. Theory, technique, ear training, reading, playing along with a drummer, and much, much more will also be covered in your lessons. My teaching methods are unique, and I guarantee you'll improve as a bassist no matter how long you've been playing.

* You'll learn how to improvise and create your own basslines, and how they interact with chords and rhythms. The emphasis of my teaching will be placed on understanding and using your musical knowledge to be as creative as you possibly can be.

* In a short while, you'll be able to figure out basslines from your favorite CD's, recognize the patterns and/or scales they came from, and have enough knowledge of musical theory to modify them and make them your own.

* Each lesson is geared to the type of music you enjoy, but what you learn can be used for any style of music. I'm very patient, and excellent with children as well as adults.

* I'll set-up (adjust) your instrument so that it plays as easily as possible at no charge. I'll also teach you basic maintenance and repair, so you can keep your instrument in top condition without having to pay a repairman.

* I'm willing to take beginners - the only thing I ask is that you be as serious about learning to be a good bass guitar player as I will be about teaching you to become one.

* My rates are reasonable and I have a flexible schedule. All lessons can be worked into the times that are the most convenient for you.

* I can give you a choice of three locations for your lessons - at my home in Brooklyn (Brighton Beach), at a midtown Manhattan music studio (West 36th St. and 7th Ave.), or at your home. We can talk about what's best for you.

* If it's inconvenient for you to go home and get your own bass, you can use one of mine for your lesson. I know how busy most people are these days.

* I'll be happy to provide you with references of current students. You can talk to someone already taking lessons from me. I encourage you to do this.

* Please email (bassguitar@hotmail.com) or call (347) 445-7873 to discuss your needs. If you get my answering machine, just leave a message and I'll get back to you shortly.

* Thank you for reading this, and I hope to hear from you soon.
