Hi, I'm Ted Olsen- I'm a professional bassist, composer, and educator currently studying at the Manhattan School of Music. I've taught students ranging from complete beginners to aspiring professional musicians, I've performed in jazz clubs, played with indie rock, pop, and folk artists, and love helping students learn the music that inspires them. One of the most rewarding parts of teaching is watching students build confidence and realize they can play songs that once seemed out of reach.
