I’m reaching out about the bass instructor position. I’d describe myself as a beginner-to-intermediate player, but I’ve devoted my life to music. I play or listen every single day — all genres, all eras — and it’s been a grounding force for me since childhood. I’m currently enrolled in Scott’s Bass Lessons Full Stack program, where I’m deepening my understanding of technique, groove, and music theory. I’m a very dedicated self-learner, constantly exploring new material, transcribing lines, and challenging myself to grow. That personal drive is what keeps me improving — and it’s also what I’d love to inspire in students. Though I haven’t formally taught music, I’ve spent years as a zone leader, training and mentoring staff members. That experience taught me how to break down information clearly, adapt to different learning styles, and keep people motivated — skills I believe translate directly into great music teaching. My goal would be to help students fall in love with bass the same way I have: through patience, curiosity, and consistent practice. I’d love the chance to bring that energy to your team and share the joy of learning music with others. Thank you for considering me
