David S.

I am a professional Double-Bass and Electric-Bass player, composer and educator. I have a B.F.A from The New School for Jazz and contemporary Music in a combined degree with Mannes College, and I’m currently pursuing my Masters degree at the Juilliard School.I have extensive background in classical as well as contemporary music. My teaching background includes six years of private tutoring for both children and adults. I have taught beginner and intermediate Double Bass and Electric Bassstudents in classical, pop, jazz and improvisation, as well as music theory and jazz and pop ensembles for pre-college students. I am also currently teaching privately.In addition to working on my own musical project I thoroughly enjoy working with students, especially with kids. I know how to clearly explain and demonstrate the complex skills of a string instrument playing, as well as musicfundamentals and advanced level theory and ear-training subjects.
