About Izzy

Hello! I am a bassist and musical artist from Detroit, Michigan. I have been playing since I was 12, professionally since I was 16, and am currently 21, studying at Berklee College of Music in Boston. At Berklee, I am playing in the highest ensembles and productions the school has to offer, and recording in studio sessions multiple times a week. I have achieved this with practicing intensely and truly absorbing and enjoying so many styles of music. I play jazz, rock, funk, rock, reggae, metal, pop, Latin music, and even flamenco! I have a great passion for teaching others how to further their skills and create joy with music, so if that learning style best suits you, I am the tutor for you.

About the lesson

- I use a student-centered approach, focusing on styles and pieces the student is interested in and then combining that with technique and theory. I teach modern techniques such as slapping, alongside traditional techniques like the Simandl method.
- A typical lesson plan might go like this:
- A quick warm-up (if needed),
- Going over last week's assignment
- Learning a new technique and examples of it in song
- Choosing an assignment with the student that they will enjoy and be inspired to practice
- Going over what we learned today and saying goodbye until the next lesson!

- What matters the most to me as a tutor is that the student keeps their passion for music alive! With my method, I have been able to achieve quick and lasting progress with students and they are always excited to pick up the bass.

- I teach all levels, from the first note a student plays on the bass up to teaching jazz theory, slapping, and advanced comping styles.

Having collaborated with Izzy on multiple projects at Berklee College of Music, I have seen firsthand how patient and adaptable they are. Izzy has a unique talent for reading the room and adjusting their pace to match the learner’s needs. Whether you need to spend extra time on a difficult topic or want to explore a subject in-depth, Izzy stays right there with you until you feel 100% confident. They are a dedicated, high-discipline educator who genuinely cares about their students' progress. I couldn’t recommend them more highly for anyone looking to strengthen their theory skills.

Hello! If you are around the Detroit area, I can drive short distances for no added cost, but if you are more than 15 miles away I might ask for some extra reimbursement. Thank you for understanding!
