Hello! Does anyone have a reference for a online bass teacher ? My current goals are getting into jazz and reading heavily. I live in Japan, so the time factor may be an issue. Unless anyone knows an English speaking bass teacher in Japan. Thanks and have a great day

Online bass teacher recomendations

@Jimmy Aloha : I also give lessons online (multi-cams, via Skype) and could teach you how to read music, but I am about as far removed from being a jazz aficionado as a person could probably get.
I am up at all hours of the night due to PTSD (I don't sleep much).
Have you considered looking into BassBuzz (Josh) on Youtube? I find him to be extremely knowledgeable and a good teacher (not many are).

Since you mentioned wanting to learn to read I’d strongly encourage you to check out Jeff Berlin’s reading course:

Thats my main study book right now! Thanks for the recommendation.
Thanks for the recommendation. @Jimmy Aloha I could help for sure, drop me a message if you want to chat things over!
Talkingbass.com offers many high quality courses and there is sheet music in the course manuals
He also offers a three volume course on reading which would probably be a good match for you

Thanks for the recommendation but I am looking for a jazz style teacher. I have been self taught for 30 years……I really need some direction from a professional. I think it’s about time for some serious study.
I do but that’s what I am working on now at home. Jazz is where I need a lot of work . I figure if the teacher teaches jazz , reading is part of the tea teaching curriculum. I have lessons one and two from Jeff Berlin as my reading work.

Todd Johnson got me up to speed with the jazz thing on a very manageable level. Not sure of his hours but he is out in Arizona I believe. I'm not sure what he would offer in terms of reading though but could probably help with that as well.
Hey Jimmy please feel free to check my website www.enricogaletta.com for any questions. I already had students in Japan so I'm familiar with the time zone too .
Ciao. Enrico
I study on-line with Todd. He's great if you want to study jazz.
BassBuzz A really good teacher, for beginners to understand what they are striving for and where to start learning is a good idea
