Russ is rare find. He's been playing bass and teaching students for decades, and he's an excellent teacher and musician. Classes are tailored to you needs, goals and skill levels, but he also has built a personal curriculum he's developed that's worked for him with his bass students over the years. It's a very music-centric approach, and you start focusing on groove and feel of what you're playing from day 1.

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My rate for live online Zoom bass lessons is $55.00 per one hour lesson. If students take lessons at my home studio, the rate is $55.00 per one hour lesson. If a student pays for 4 or more, (One Hour Lessons) at a time, the price per One Hour lesson is $50.00/hour.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I want to find out what the student wants to learn and then design a curriculum that will meet and satisfy their goals. My students get better!!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been playing bass guitar professionally for 40 years and teaching bass guitar professionally for 35 years. I have a teaching system that has proven itself over and over again with many students going on to having very successful careers in music as well as having many students just having a great time playing music for personal enjoyment and Simi-professional work.
