Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Music is about having fun, expressing yourself and communicating with your fellow musicians. Modeling my teaching roughly around the great Victor Wooten's 10 elements of music concept, I treat music as a language because it is! Everyone has something to offer musically. My job is to find that unique element and guide that person to their full potential! So let's not just play the bass, let's PLAY MUSIC!
I've played bass for over 20 years, and I've been teaching for over a decade! Nothing is more satisfying as a teacher than seeing my students' joy when they realize that they learned their first song, took their first solo, or just jammed with friends for the first time! My experience as a bass player has thoroughly prepared me to teach any skill level, any style, any age range, and any technique. So whether you are just starting out, have played bass for a while, or are a gigging musician, I can guarantee I have some guidance to offer that will take your playing to the next level and lead you to have more fun playing the bass than ever before!

I've been taking bass lessons with Zach Rizer since I was about 14. I have learned an immense amount of material and knowledge over the years from Zach, and I wouldn't be the player I am today, or the one I will be tomorrow if it wasn't for him. Zach plays at an extremely high level and was able to teach me anything and everything I needed to know about the bass (upright and electric), as well as every music theory question I ever needed answered. I am now 22, a senior in college studying Jazz with an emphasis in performance, and I still ask him questions as he always has the answers. Zach was the only private teacher that I could make sense of when I was younger. He was very patient, but also knew how to push my technical ability. Taking lessons from him while in college for music was the exact same, as his knowledge base, playing level, and teaching ability exceed way beyond the undergraduate level. I've not only learned my technical ability from Zach, but I have also discovered how to become a better musician on my own as well. If you need bass/theory lessons of any kind, at any age, he's your guy!

I really had fun learning the bass from Zach! He's great at giving feedback that lets you know what to improve and how to improve it. He listens to what you want to learn and knows how to personalize the lessons to take you to the next level.

Zach Rizer is Epic! His knowledge base is exceptional and his passion for music and teaching are second to none! If you are remotely interested in learning to play the bass, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR and study with Zach!! You will have a blast and build some serious "chops" if you stick with him!!!!

Zach was an excellent teacher. I came in as a beginner having never played bass, and Zach kept the lessons interesting by incorporating music I enjoyed into the lessons. He had a good balance of "drills" to work on in addition to learning songs that used these skills. He is very insightful and helped me to understand both the theoretical and applied aspects of music. He is very talented and is able to convey information in a digestible manner. I highly recommend him.
