Steve Hoffman
has been teaching since 1991 in Santa Rosa California. He specializes in
groove, advanced techniques, music reading, charts, soloing and song study.
Steve has been playing the bass for twenty five years and has received a BA
in Music Composition from UC Berkeley. He has also attended Berklee College
of Music. He currently performs with numerous Symphonies and Opera Companies
throughout the Bay Area, as well as various rock bands such as Sweetleaf
(Black Sabbath/ Ozzy tribute band) and
The Esseness Project
(electric instrumental rock).
His influences are widely varied.
Steve started music when he was five years old with piano and singing. He
started the electric bass when he was twelve and the contra bass at
twenty-five. He is still active with all instruments.
When asked what makes him different from the other teachers he stated, I
have loads of patience, I try to give the student ample chances to play in
the lesson and I'm sensitive to the students needs.
