Body: As a "self-taught" double bassist, mostly in jazz, I felt I was missing the experience of playing in an orchestra. Enter Stephanie P, who was able to help me with not only my technique, but also how to read music at a very high level, very quickly. I always had a fear of reading music and therefore didn't bother learning, but through my lessons with Stephanie, not only can I read the music, I can now play it! She was able to provide the customized, detailed instruction necessary for my playing to reach new levels I hadn't considered before. Thoughtful, intelligent instruction catered to each student.... highly recommended!
