Seth Horan is a great bass instructor. When I started taking lessons from Seth I had been teaching myself bass mainly through YouTube videos and listening to my guitar playing friends tips. What I found was that soon after starting instruction with Seth my skills steadily improved. Seth always took the time to answer my questions thoroughly. He created my lessons specifically tailored to what I asked to learn and made them enjoyable. Seth is truly a professional. Today, thanks to Seths instruction, I consider myself a budding musician with a much better understanding of both my instrument as well as music in general. I would highly recommend Seth to anyone searching to learn more about bass. Phil Reno, NV

I've been studying with Seth for about two months now. He is careful and patient in explaining bass to a total beginner. He accurately measures what his student is ready for, and what the student will be ready for next. Lessons are conveniently scheduled, and we make extremely good use of the time. I'm very pleased with the progress I'm making, and I expect to continue taking lessons for quite a while. I'd recommend Seth to anyone looking to start playing bass (like me). I'd also recommend Seth to advanced players--he is very skilled as a bass player and teacher. Look at the videos and get an idea of where he is as a player. Look at the testimonials to get an idea of where he is as a teacher.

I was 30 and hadnt played an instrument in my life when I started taking bass lessons from Seth. Thanks to his skill as a teacher, love of bass, and encyclopedic knowledge of music, I learned more, faster than I ever would have thought possible. Whatever genre or style of music you are playing or want to play, dont waste your time with anybody else. Call Seth now. He will make you a better bass player. And dont say you didnt know any better, because now you do.

I first began studying bass with Seth in July, 2011, and was immediately impressed with his knowledge of all styles of bass playing. I had previously only worked with guitarists who taught bass on the side, and I noticed the difference immediately; In my short time studying with Seth, I've made progress not only in technique, but also in timekeeping, theory, and singing. Seth has let me take my learning in the direction I want to, and he's been an invaluable resource along the way.

I have been playing bass in fits and starts for much of my life. I mostly learned by ear when I started and have tried lessons with a half dozen different teachers with varying but rather limited success. I have also, of course, been a student of various other subjects over the course of my lifetime, including martial arts, and I think I have a pretty good notion of what constitutes good teaching and a good teacher. Seth Horan has every quality necessary for an excellent teacher. : *Passion for the subject (& instrument), being taught. *The ability to gauge the current level of ability of the student. *An interest in each student's specific individual goals and needs. *The commitment and ability to tailor the lessons to the individual's current ability and to progress them toward their goals. *A motivating but non-intimidating homework load that delivers noticeable progress and keeps you coming back for more! I can tell you with conviction that no other bass teacher I've ever had made the lessons and homework more clear or more tailored to my goals than Seth does. I can also tell you absolutely that no other bass teacher has delivered the results and the feeling of competence and excitement about being a bass player that Mr. Horan has to me. I would recommend him to anyone interested in learning to play the bass or in taking their bass playing to the next level, whatever that means to them. There is an ancient saying to the effect that when the student is ready the master will appear. Seth Horan was the master I was ready for. You may be ready for him too! Check him out! Welcome to Central New York, Seth Horan! Thank you for moving east!!

FAQs

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
The most common mistake a bass player makes when seeking a private instructor is not finding a teacher whose first instrument is BASS. All too often, they study with a guitarist who claims to teach bass "on the side", and this hardly ever ends well.
