Testimonials:
Rupali Srivastava:
"Evan was such a huge help for my daughter when she chose Upright Bass as her Orchestra instrument. She had no prior experience and within a few weeks she was playing at the same level as her fellow orchestra members. They are patient and understanding. Their manner is gentle and put my daughter at ease, right away."
Stirling Cousins:
"I worked with Evan for over a year. They are an excellent teacher. They focus on helping you reach your goals. With Evan's help, I went from being a brand new electric bass player to someone who is confident in both my playing and my composition."
