About
I am Roman Gastelum, a music instructor who specializes in teaching bass guitar (electric and double) and music theory. I am currently accepting students who are committed and passionate about learning. I am also offering spring discount offers, message me for more information. Fees may apply when I travel to my student's location and are based on the travel distance.

A Bit About Me:

I am an acoustic and electric bassist, vocalist, lyricist, and composer based in Los Angeles, CA. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Music Performance from the Musicians Institute in Los Angeles. My musical influences span various genres, including jazz, hip-hop, funk, soul, country, classical, alternative, indie, rock, and pop music. Today, I am active in the Los Angeles music scene, recording and performing live on stage. I am also a dedicated private lesson instructor, reflective lyricist, and artistic and commercial composer. I am the bassist, vocalist, and lyricist of Jigsaw Falling, an eclectic progressive rock project.

Recently, I released two new singles titled "Illusory Truth" and "Pavlov's Dogs," which are available to stream on all digital platforms. The singles were composed and arranged entirely by me, with other talented musicians from the Los Angeles scene accompanying me. The music's inspiration and style are a perfect combination of my deep love for both jazz and hip-hop, incorporating influences from the UK and other modern styles. These singles are also available in a 7" vinyl record format.

That's just the beginning, stay tuned for more!

tand teaching style, helped me make significant progress in no time. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced bassist, Roman is the ideal choice for a tutor. Roman is an excellent bass tutor, well-equipped to assist you regardless of your current skill level. When I began taking lessons from him, I already had a good grasp of the basics of playing the instrument and considered myself a moderately advanced beginner. However, within just five minutes of assessing my abilities, Roman was able to determine exactly where we should start to optimize our lessons. His teaching style was both unique and easy to follow and his tips were incredibly helpful, allowing me to rapidly improve my skills. If you're seeking a bass tutor, regardless of your skill level, I highly recommend Roman.

Roman is an extremely knowledgeable instructor who simplifies the essentials of music/bass into manageable fragments. He displays exceptional patience and guides me through any challenges I face, repeatedly if needed. Furthermore, I value the detailed notes he provides, which I can use to practice until our next session. I highly recommend him!

My daughter, a beginner in bass, receives lessons from Roman, who I observed to be extremely patient with her as he explains the concepts thoroughly. His politeness and dedication to teaching are evident, and his skill level is commendable. Based on my experience, I confidently recommend Roman.
