About Me
Hi, my name is Stephen and I am a bowed strings specialist from St. Louis MO. I have been a student of music for 40 years. My musical influences include Classical, Jazz, R&B, Pop, Blues, Country, Rock, and I also enjoy Bluegrass. My teaching style can best be described as visual and hands-on instrument. My teaching philosophy can best be described by saying I continue to learn new ways to demonstrate ways to help students reach a higher potential. In my lessons, you can expect to learn sheet music, sight reading, theory, ear training and much more. I like to tell my they can do anything the out their mind and effort into. My favorite thing about teaching is the “a-ha” moments. My favorite performance was Peter Gabriel’s Secret World. My students love that I break things down to their elements. I primarily teach bass, but I can also teach cello, Violin, and Viola. My approach as a teacher is to bold upon students strengths and encourage growing weaknesses into strengths. Thanks for taking a look at my profile. Hope to meet you soon!

What to expect in my Orchestral Lessons

Beginner -

Firm focus on good technique with attention to building a strong foundation for people to grow upon. Students will learn to read sheet music, and progress at their own pace.


What to expect in my Guitar Lessons

Beginner -

I like to find out the students goals and aspirations and teach to those. If it’s learning a pop tune, I work to give the building blocks to make the goal a reality. I can teach student how to read sheet music if that’s what they desire, or how to play by ear if they desire.
