Steve is an amazing teacher. I studied with him for a few months and only paused due to schedule changes. I will be back when I can. He has a great way of teaching theory and showing how to apply it. He is also great at gauging your interests and picking songs to learn hag really for your style and interests. Also a nice guy and patient teaching style. Easy communication to schedule lessons.

Steve can play & teach absolutely every genre of music on the bass, answer any question, demonstrate anything that you want to know and sightread difficult charts in seconds. He's the consummate bass player/instructor. The real deal!
