Bass Lessons

Learn bass 1-on-1 with Jonathan Michel, bassist and musical director for Grammy-winning R&B legend Billy Paul, longtime Smalls Jazz Club residency artist, and collaborator with Orrin Evans, Terrace Martin, and Bilal. Limited spots each month.

“Jonathan Michel taught me how to really listen and develop discipline through music I already loved. He gave me clear exercises to build technique, always followed up with thoughtful resources, and regularly checked in on my progress. He's incredibly kind, encouraging, and knows how to meet you where you are in your musical journey. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive, knowledgeable teacher.”
