Music lessons in Denver.
Bass, guitar, drums, piano, and Logic Pro production. In your home or online, from a working Denver musician. Every rate is published.
What lessons will do for you.
You'll make significant improvements in playing, enjoying, and understanding music, from chord charts and by ear. And you'll feel great about doing it, whether you play by yourself or for your friends. That's the promise I make every student.
How we get there is built around you. We work on real songs you're actually interested in, immediately. I bring in exercises only as far as they serve those songs. And you learn to move forward on your own: how to decipher the chords in a chart, and how to understand by ear what's going on. I don't teach sight-reading, and you won't need it.
Six ways in.
Bass
Electric and upright. My main instrument, with jazz underneath.
Bass lessonsGuitar
Acoustic and electric. Chords that carry songs, and melody on top.
Guitar lessonsDrums
Pop and rock groove. Time and feel that make a band sound good.
Drum lessonsPiano
Chord-chart piano for pop, rock, and simpler jazz. No notation required.
Piano lessonsProduction
Logic Pro. Track a song, finish it, and understand why it works.
Logic Pro lessonsSongwriting
Write it, edit it, and record a demo of it.
Songwriting lessonsSome students have a destination, and some find one on the way.
Maybe you already know what you want from this: a song for somebody's wedding, playing with other people, an album of your own. If you can't name it yet, here's what students do with lessons. None of it is required, and playing at home for yourself is a complete destination.
It can be a Denver jam night, prepped ahead of time, with me there; a recorded track of you playing, made in Logic; playing for your family; or finishing a song of your own. The adults page walks through each one.
Book your first lesson
Pick your lesson, lock a time, pay after. If the first lesson isn't a fit, it's free. A text works too if you want to talk first.
First lesson
We play, we talk, and I map where you are and what you're into. You leave with something to work on that fits your hands and your goal.
A held weekly slot
The same day and the same hour every week, held for you. The weekly slot is what keeps people playing after the first month.
One rate, published.
$75 an hour, in your home or on Zoom. Pay after your first lesson. Cancel with 24 hours' notice and there's nothing to pay. The whole grid is one page.
Fox Lessons is me, Daniel Fox.
I'm a working Denver musician. Bass is my main instrument, electric and upright, and I play around Denver constantly: a flamenco band that works regularly at Monarch Casino in Black Hawk, jazz groups from duo to quartet, and bands across funk, Americana, grunge, and jazz pop. Fox Lessons started when two Denver teachers I respect handed me their students. Both trusted me to teach their students.
