About George

I'm a professional jazz bassist, composer, and educator based in New York City. I hold a Master's in Jazz Performance from NYU, where I received the Outstanding Achievement Award in Jazz Studies, and a Bachelor's in Performance from Berklee College of Music, where I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a minor in Music Production and Engineering. I've performed at venues like The Blue Note and Nublu, and at international jazz festivals across the U.S. and Latin America.

Over the years I've worked with artists across jazz, fusion, R&B, Latin, and contemporary scenes. But as much as I love performing, teaching has become just as important to me. I teach because I genuinely enjoy sharing what I've learned through experience, not just the technical side of playing bass, but also the creative and personal side of being a musician. My goal is always to help students grow, stay inspired, and find their own voice.

About the lesson

Every lesson is tailored to your goals, whether that's building foundational technique, exploring different genres, developing improvisation, or preparing for an audition. Expect a mix of hands-on playing, listening, and creative challenges that stretch your skills and unlock new ideas.

One key part of my approach is listening. I often share playlists and curated recordings that align with what we’re working on. The more you listen, the faster your instincts develop. I’ve found that curiosity is one of the most powerful forces in learning, and I try to feed that through both what we play and what we explore outside of class.

Topics we can cover:
● Groove, tone, sound, and time feel
● Rhythmic awareness and feel across different styles
● Building bass lines across genres (jazz, funk, R&B, Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, etc.)
● Technique (slap, fingerstyle, palm muting, etc.)
● Learning songs by ear and developing listening skills
● Harmony, theory, and improvisation
● How to record yourself and build solid practice habits

I'm also developing a structured course focused on jazz fundamentals, bass technique, and music theory from the bassist's perspective. Working 1-on-1 with me now is a great way to preview and personalize that material before it launches.

Lessons can happen weekly or biweekly based on your schedule. My goal is always to meet you where you are, challenge you just enough, and help you stay inspired every step of the way.

Perfect! George is a great teacher. He has profound insights into the bass and tailors lessons and practice materials according to my skill level. He doesn’t just help me become familiar with the bass but focuses more on an overall approach to music learning and understanding. A great person—passionate, friendly.

I've watched George perform live many times, and the passion he brings to the stage is something you don't easily forget. His dedication and passion for music run deep, and that same commitment shows up in how he teaches. He has a real ability to break things down and make the material connect for each student. His genuine curiosity as a musician keeps him constantly growing, and student success is clearly something he cares about deeply. Anyone looking for a bass teacher who loves what they do and brings that into the lesson room would be lucky to work with him.

My standard rate is $80 per hour for in-person or online lessons.

In-person lessons take place in my professional teaching space in Midtown Manhattan, equipped with amp and recording gear. If you'd prefer I travel to your location within NYC, there's a $20 transportation fee to cover time and travel expenses.

I offer the first lesson free as a way for us to connect, talk about your goals, and build a plan around your interests and experience level. It's a chance for you to see how I teach and ask questions before committing to regular lessons.

All lesson materials, charts, PDFs, playlists, tracks, are included in the rate. I also provide guidance on setting up your own practice space or recording workflow if that's useful to you. Weekly or biweekly lessons are available depending on your goals. Feel free to reach out anytime with questions.
