Bass Lessons in NoHo, NY
(212) 537-6746
Learning to play in the style of legendary players like Jaco Pastorius, Paul McCartney and Brian Wilson can be a blast. Mastering the instrument from taking bass lessons can provide you with enjoyment that lasts. Naturally there's a lot of complexity to the bass, so you'll need a good teacher to help you understand things like ear training, slap/pop techniques and playing melodically .

Student Reviews
As an adult, but also as a new student of the cello, I have most enjoyed my lessons with Lesley. Not only is she an inspired musician, she is an inspiring teacher. She is both exacting and encouraging. The lessons are challenging, but also fluid, allowing time and development of exercises to address one's own particular "issues". This dynamic allows the lesson to be extremely tailored to one's own particular challenges and efforts to play better. She also conveys extremely interesting and helpful information about the cello, its history, how it is made and what contributes to the beauty of the sound...and even how best to carry and care for the instrument. And, she is extremely personable, and, more specifically, her love for the music shines brightly. If you really want to learn how to play, and have fun doing so, your should contact Lesley. I strongly recommend her!
