Tutoring Approach

Tamir is a warm and sensitive teacher who focuses on his students’ interests, diving straight into the music his students are passionate about. During the first lesson, Tamir will explore the students’ musical interests and aspirations. If the student is a beginner, Tamir will delve into the important aspects of the bass’ role in the genre(s) the student is interested in and get the student playing as soon as possible. With more experienced players, Tamir will discuss with the student the direction they want to take with their playing and go straight from there.
