“Riley has been the only teacher so far that has made a big difference in my playing.” - Bernardo A.

 

Jed Lingat is a graduate of the Berklee College of Music and has spent years making a living as a bass player in NYC. His teaching stems from his experience as a gigging musician as well as almost 20 years of playing. A few artists Jed has performed/recorded with are Childish Japes, J. Hoard, Sami Stevens, and Matthew Hartnett & The Gumbo All-Stars.

“I’ve worked with Jed for over a decade and he continues to teach me new ways to improve the quality of my playing in a way that’s fun and exciting.” - Terrill M.

 

Ben Wallace-Ailsworth, an alumni of the Berklee College of Music, has over 15 years of professional music experience and over 8 years of teaching experience. He has performed and studied with various, well-known artists including Jay Lane (Primus, Ratdog) and Sheila E. (Prince).

Pat Abbott has a Bachelor’s Degree and Master’s Degree in Music Education from Nazareth College of Rochester.

“Pat's guidance has been instrumental in my development as a bass player.” - Andrew H.

“Riley is a great music teacher, and also just a really nice guy. Friendly and easy to get along with, he knows how to instruct and he knows his stuff, both technique and theory. He's always happy to answer questions, and to work with you and your interests. As a beginning bass player, I'm sure I would not have progressed as quickly as I did without his lessons. Its always up to the individual player to put in the time, but working with Riley will give you the tools, direction, and fundamentals to get you playing bass well.” - Jon R.

“Riley is terrific. A gifted player, he is a knowledgeable, dedicated, and most importantly, encouraging and motivating teacher. Also, his affable and easy-going manner makes learning a pleasure. Through his expert guidance I have come a long way!” - Peter M.
