Film Scoring and bassist available

About Me

I grew up in South Eastern, PA, and have been playing bass for 8 years years. I was accepted to Berklee College of Music on a scholarship and received my dual-major degree (Film Scoring and Professional Music) in Spring 2007.
I currently compose, score movie projects, gig, teach, and do freelance bass studio work around the Massachussetts area.
I am availible for hire for studio projects, film scoring, tutoring, and more. I play a wide range of styles, including jazz, rock, funk, Brazilian, various World styles, folk, classical and more.
I teach private bass lessons from beginner to advanced levels. I focus mainly on harmony and technique; but also stress bass line construction and improvisation, melody, rhythmic interpretation, ear training, reading, ensemble playing, composition and more.
