Eli Namay has been teaching upright and electric bass, (as well as guitar, drums, and piano) since 2011 at schools such as King College Prep, St. Patrick High School, School of Rock, and Lyric Music School.  Eli has experience teaching children as young as four, teenagers, adults, professional musicians, and seniors, as well as children and young adults with special needs. Eli focuses on breaking down musical problems to their simplest parts to create achievable goals for his students. This is achieved by linking the conceptual to the physical using mind / body awareness techniques derived from western classical, jazz, Zen Buddhist, & “Deep Listening” traditions. Nurturing creativity and excitement about exploring life through sound is at the center of Eli’s teaching.
