I'm the Bass player and founding member for the multi platinum band SPIN DOCTORS.

Grammy nominated, playing all over the world, opening for the Rolling stones, playing for all kinds of award shows,late night tv shows, and a couple of private parties

I currently have been teaching over 50 students at Rockin Robin music lessons for five years now.
I've been playing bass for over 26 years now. I've been in over 50 bands in the NYC area. In 1989 I joined the Spin Doctors.

In 2002 i was offered a teaching job at a local music school, Rocking Robin in Houston, Texas.

I feel my job as a teacher is to show people how to have fun while learning.

I teach on an individual basis. I only need to listen or watch you for ten seconds, and I'll know where you need help.

I teach basic theory, to help you understand where your notes are on the bass and to get to them without thinking. I also teach super efficient picking technique. Basic and advanced slap. I'll take the pain out of learning funk.

A bass player with bad time is like a cook without a mouth. I will be teaching you how to "feel" time instead of listening to it.

Remember music is supposed to be fun and I'm very good at making learning fun.
