David Filice

Bass teacher and Band Leader

David FliceTeaching Philosophy: I love to teach music. I will never forget the excitement I used to feel when I would take a music lessons and I love to pass that on. In teaching I like to cover the whole spectrum of musicality. Not just show someone how to play scales. I try to share with them my years of experience as a professional and show them the artistry behind playing an instrument. Not just the technicality. With my students I cover everything from hand technique, ear training, theory, listening skills, songwriting, both skills of how to make and follow charts, reading, and how to have fun and grow with their instrument.
