Aaron S.

Bachelor of Arts in Music, Pennsylvania State University, Class of 2012.

While attending Penn State, I studied bass with Professor Robert Nairn, the former President of the International Society of Bassist Throughout middle school and high school, I studied privately with Peter Tomforde.

I have performed orchestral concerts at Avery Fisher Hall in Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall and Heinz I've played with rock and folk rock bands all over the country, including several tours of the east and west coast I have played in big band jazz bands, as well as jazz combo 

I first began giving lessons during my junior year in high school, in I taught double bass, bass guitar, and guitar after school and over the summer During my senior year of high school, I was asked to give sectional lessons to the double bassists in the freshman orchestra. I was also the only student invited to make a guest appearance as a conductor during the final concert. While earning my music degree at Penn State, I took several classes in music education. For one semester I was given the opportunity to lead a preschool class in beginner level music instruction. I continued to teach lessons during the summers, and in 2011 I worked as the music specialist at West Hills Day Camp, where I played guitar and led the campers in song. Since graduating I have been teaching students in New York City and San Diego.
