Getting Back Into Teaching

Sign in to disble this ad
I used to teach a small roster of students, but I got out of it due to time constraints. I taught each student from custom syllabi / materials... which worked well, but it was very time consuming to prepare. So I am looking to get back into it, but I am thinking about teaching all beginners from a book to begin with. Are their any books that you recommend for teaching from?

Thanks!

Great great book. DVD will help absolute beginners only.

From the perspective of a new student, I liked "Teach Yourself to Play Bass" (Manus/Manus). It was recommended by my teacher, along with references on scales and arpeggios.

I'd think you could take the material you already have, if you were teaching beginners before, and reuse it.

I'll likely use my materials for added materials, but I don't want to spend a lot of time structuring my own book. If I don't find anything I like, I may, but I am hoping to see if there is anything usable out there.

Try checking out my second Hal Leonard book, Funk/Fusion Bass. It's got loads of exercises appropriate for all levels, including scales, arpeggios, string crossings, etc., as well as entire chapters devoted to finger-style funk and soloing.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
