Summary: Stephanie Patterson specializes in teaching adult learners.  After playing professionally for a period of time, she developed an overuse injury and had to leave her symphonic career. Her teaching career began by accident about 10 years ago when her former hairdresser wanted to learn to play bass to do rockabilly. Through her own experiences and advice from Orin O'Brien, Stephanie has developed a teaching philosophy specifically tailored for adult learners.
