bass coaching

Please meet our new friend Rex Bell. Searching for a bass instructor for beloved son took some effort. Most teachers in studios had wait lists. Those who had openings had either very little music theory or no performance experience. Finding someone who embodied both (plus integrity) seemed almost impossible. And then we found Rex. Not only does he have a strong education in music theory from Berklee, he also comes with a wealth of personal experience performing, recording, and teaching. But you know my standards are high. I remained optimistic but guarded. The real delight came with not only discovering all these qualities about Rex, but in seeing first hand his honest to goodness joy for life, and a real southern hospitality he embodies in the face of perfect strangers. I suspect, much like beloved son, few people are strangers to Rex. But it gets better. Not only is he gregarious and chalk full of experiences on guitar and bass (and mandolin, banjo, etc.), he has also agreed to work with me to create cello accompaniments to play with my cousins when we get together for family jams. And the most important factor in all this? Beloved son is thriving in these bass lessons under Rex's coaching. Looking for a coach? Tell Rex I sent you.
