John Ferrara:Bass Lessons & Recording!

About Me

Bass Guitar Lessons ************************************************************ * Hey! My name is John and I’m a very motivated Bass player and teacher. I’ve been teaching for 5 years now and have learned that all aspiring musicians are different and do not always want to learn what some teacher deems it essential to learn. I try to tailor my lessons to you and what your interests are.Let me tell you about me. I’ve been playing bass for ten years and professionally for 8 of them. I am the bassist for the ethno fusion funk band “Consider The Source” (Myspace.com/ConsiderTheMusic), recently acclaimed as having one of the top ten albums of 2007 by president of the Jazz Journalist Association Howard Mandel (HowardMandel.com). I am also sponsored by Hartke bass amplifiers and you can hear my bass playing on the song “Tihai for the straight guy” on there myspace page (Myspace.com/Hartke).Enough about me I want to know about you. When you email, please include the style of music you prefer to play, listen to and have an interest in learning, as well as what days and times you are available. Getting to know you and your goals helps me to structure your lessons. I am also interested in why you chose bass as the instrument to study.If your interested in taking lessons please contact me for rates. The average cost can range from $30 to $50 depending on if you come to me or if I go to you. I also offer a $10 student discount (with I.D.) Please e-mail me for more details on rates. Hope to hear from you soon.John
