About Me

Hi, my name is Ernest and I am a self taught guitarist and bassist from Washington, DC. I have been a student of music for over 20 years. I have also been an independent recording artist for a little over 3 years. My musical influences include a variety of different artists in many different genres and I also enjoy learning new styles of music. My teaching style can best be described as soulful and fun with an emphasis on creative writing and composing. My teaching philosophy can best be described by saying that I teach from the heart and soul while also making the lessons fun and engaging. In my lessons, you can expect to learn the basics of rhythm and bass as well as the fundamental building blocks of guitar playing such as chords and scales. I like to tell my students to always take their time and to just have fun when playing guitar or bass. The most important lesson I've learned is "in order to play fast, you must learn to play slow". My favorite thing about teaching is passing on the knowledge I've gained in the past to a new generation and the rewarding feeling I get in doing so. My favorite performance was each time I've played for my students. My students love that I show a sense of kindness and understanding as well as patience when they struggle to learn something new. I primarily teach older kids from 4th to 6th grades, but I can also teach 1st to 3rd graders. My approach as a teacher is to teach in a way that's fun and easy for students to understand. Thanks for taking a look at my profile. Hope to meet you soon!
