​

      A San Francisco born native, Mr. Cohen has decades of experience teaching double bass and cello students.  Many students have won auditions into the San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra as well as other youth orchestras in the Bay Area.  Mr. Cohen's students develop daily routines, organizational, goal oriented and critical thinking skills on top of becoming an accomplished artist.  He has a passion for helping children to adults learn how to play the music they love on a cello or double bass.

He has written two books called, Virtuoso Bass Skills for Double Bass Rookies, that is a compilation of original and borrowed bass techniques and famous melodies specially arranged for the double bass and Pre-shift Practice with Scales, to help improve the accuracy of the left-hand.
