STUDY MUSIC WITH SCOTT LEEI teach all levels, from beginner to advanced.
I specialize in Pizzicato and Bowing techniques; improvisation, from Be Bop to Free-Form; concept; and repertoire.
I have a strong focus on the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of playing the bass.
My instruction includes special approaches to body awareness: relaxation through the use of Chinese exercises and the practice of Qi Gong.
I also teach a methodology of improvising form called The Game.
About Scott
Arriving in New York in the late 70’s, one of Lee’s first gigs was touring and recording with Chet Baker.

Also, he accompanied many singers such as Nancy Wilson, Chris Conner, Morgana King, Betty Buckley, Helen Merrill, Susannah McCorkle, and Anita O’Day.
In the orchestral world, Scott has shown his versatility by being part of the Metropolitan Opera Guild’s performance of Puchini’s “Gianni Schicci”, to the World Premiere of Charles Ives’ “Universe Symphony.” He has also toured and recorded with the Andy Statman Quartet playing the music of the Jewish Mystics.
