Around the time of when COVID-19 was affecting musicians’ way of means is when I began to think about learning how to teach. I began first by reaching out to musician friends to see if anyone was looking for bass lessons. With the help of my colleagues, I was able to pick up a few students here and there. Then in around August of 2021 is when I began to teach bass lessons at the White House of Music.
