How Personal Studio Works

You upload your video, I review your playing and create a new personalized lesson for the following week. We repeat the process every week, creating a structured learning path tailored to your progress.

Personal Studio is an exclusive mentorship program designed around your goals, level, and musical interests. Through personalized weekly video lessons, assignments, and practical examples, you receive clear guidance and a structured study plan tailored to your progress.

Watch your lessons whenever it fits your schedule, revisit previous lessons at any time, and submit videos of completed assignments to receive detailed feedback and corrections. New lessons are created weekly to support steady and meaningful development, with the flexibility to catch up through a Zoom lesson whenever needed.

Who Personal Studio Is For

Personal Studio is designed for players who want consistent, personalized guidance within a weekly development process. It is ideal for those who value detailed feedback, focused assignments, and steady progress — offering a flexible and efficient alternative to traditional private lessons.

What You Will Develop

Because each study plan is built around your playing and musical goals, development areas are carefully personalized and evolve week by week together with the musical addresses content.

Greater clarity and control in your walking bass lines
Stronger harmonic understanding applied directly to your repertoire
More confident and intentional improvisation
Improved time feel, phrasing, and musical direction

The Personal Studio Concept

Have you ever wished you could have an internationally active NYC jazz bassist listening to your playing and guiding your progress every week?

PERSONAL STUDIO is exactly that. Get your weekly personalized lessons and watch them whenever you have time, revisit previous lessons whenever you need a refresher, and upload your assignments to receive ongoing feedback and guidance. Can’t submit videos for a few weeks? No problem. We’ll catch up with a Zoom lesson and continue from there. Personal Studio is a flexible alternative to private lessons, offering personalized guidance and an efficient learning process built around your schedule and goals.
