TL;DR This is an expansion of a previous thread. New lesson plans in musician, ear training, and theory skills.
Hi all,
My name is Jake, I am an out of work bass player from New Orleans. When quarantine hit us here in the states I lost all of my gigs and immediately began looking for something to do. Acting on advice from a friend, I decided to teach lessons in Ableton Live. The response has been great and I am currently working with 12 amazing students from all over the world.
Though these lessons started with the intention of teaching Ableton live looping skills, it seems that 75% of my students are working on theory and basic musician skills. I am looking to add another 10-15 students. See the lesson plans below. If you are interested, hit the email at the bottom of this post.
I am about sharing knowledge and now is a great time to do so. I have no problems at all teaching for free. That being said, any little bit of cash would help an out of work bass player.
