Guitar & Bass Lessons: Zoom, in-studio, or in the comfort of your home
I'm Alex, a working musician with more than 20 years experience teaching students of all ages. Every student is different, so every lesson is different. When you study with me, you focus on what you want to do, not a one-size-fits-all lesson plan. Take lessons where it's convenient for you. If you're local, you can learn to play your instrument at my home studio in Milwaukie, Oregon. Or, for a relatively small added fee, you can take lessons in your own home within about 15 minutes of zip code 97267--approximately as far north as Southeast Portland, Oregon, and south to about West Linn. If you're further away—really anywhere in the world with an internet connection and a videoconferencing app—you can learn to play via Zoom, Facetime, or whatever other video conferencing app you prefer to use. Lessons are tailored to your needs, tastes and skill level. I teach virtually all styles of guitar and electric bass, beginner to pro. I also teach beginner to intermediate banjo. I've taught guitar—including songwriting, composition, and theory—at the Austin Live Music Academy (ALMA) founded by Jerry Jeff Walker. I've taught adults and children at music schools around Portland, and K-12 students in after-school and summer programs at such prestigious private schools as Catlin-Gabel and the German International School. And I've performed with numerous well-known musicians and bands across the USA including The Motet, Twinkle, Kenny Drew Jr., and Harmonious Wail, to name a few.

From traditional American Bluegrass to Katy Perry to Mozart to Django-style Swing music, you can learn to play your favorite song on the violin or viola with determination and effective instruction. These lessons encompass reading music, ear training, and a strong technical foundation on the instrument. All ages and musical goals are welcome! My 20+ years of musical experience include playing for opera and film scores, throwing down hundreds of studio tracks, touring with Americana and punk bands, performing for weddings, funerals, parties, school assemblies, and I want to share that knowledge with you and accompany you on your artistic journey.

Unlock your musical potential with engaging and personalized lessons tailored to your goals.
In my teaching approach, beginners will receive comprehensive instruction in music fundamentals, including music theory, reading notation, rhythm, key signatures, chord progressions, proper instrument posture, and playing simple melodies. As their skills progress, they will have the opportunity to explore more advanced concepts, such as modes, intricate timing and rhythm patterns, advanced chord structures, harmonization techniques, improvisation, and a diverse repertoire within their chosen genre and style. For instance, classical musicians will delve into the works of composers spanning the Renaissance to the Romantic era, while folk musicians will explore various European dance music styles and American genres like bluegrass, country, western swing, jazz, and blues, among others. The curriculum is tailored to meet the specific needs and aspirations of each student, allowing for continuous growth and musical development.

Drum Lessons For Students From Age 7 to 70 in Portland
I begin by having a phone conversation with you, or your parent, (which ever is appropriate) so we can establish a sense of our compatibility, comfort level and direction. I like working with beginning students; a good teacher can help you get there faster, but I also enjoy helping: working professionals playing in lots of bands, or drumming for years! Lessons are written or verbally expressed for the individual student! Teaching you the “METHOD”, a uniquely simple approach, will help … you concentrate on finger control, independence, speed, endurance, bounce and to perfect balance between your hands and feet, all in a relaxed manner.. I also incorporate the “MOELLER METHOD”. This approach to drumming uses bio-mechanics and ergonomics to support smoother, injury-free playing. Your own body will teach you how to accomplish this. Your speed and power will increase as well. Extra information We’ll start by working on: Drum pads and a metronome, to perfect your inner rhythms and relaxing techniques Use of mirrors, so you can self-monitor your hands and body mechanics creating a comfort level, and easily correct your technique. By using mirrors you can create a visual approach that encourages concentration on the consistent, even sound of your sticks, bass drum pedal, and hi-hat pedal along with keeping good posture. I teach in my home studio where I have 2 drum sets, several practice pads, bass drum practice pads, hi-hats and mirrors and metronomes. You can look forward to learning a fun discipline, and a simple philosophy with a relaxed and exciting approach to the drums rather than styles of music. You can take what you learn in any direction you choose. I love playing drums, wouldn’t you love to play too? Come join me for the fun of playing. There is nothing more satisfying, and rewarding, for me, and hopefully for you, then learning to play the drums!

I will obviously adapt to your level as well as to your needs and desires. - grammar/vocabulary lessons: these are essential to progress quickly and efficiently. - practical oral expression workshop: this can be a situation or a dialogue in a particular context. The goal is to get you used to speaking in French, to put aside your fear or apprehension and let it become more natural for you. - oral comprehension: the more you get used to hearing this language spoken, the easier and more natural it will become for you. - at the end of each week, I will give you small exercises for the next week: vocabulary/conjugation/grammar to learn. I will also give you a short text to read with questions to check your understanding. During my lessons I place a lot of emphasis on oral expression and comprehension.
