Jason R., Bass Teacher, Chicago
(773) 360-0204
About Me:
I have been teaching music since 1990. During that time, I have developed a clear and direct method of teaching students of all ages and backgrounds. I am focused on communicating the art of music in a way that speaks to the student's interests and builds bridges for further exploration. My approach is twofold, the development of sound physicality and nurturing of artistry.
