Your coach
David Miller
Upright bass player, educator, and coach. David helps serious adult players break through the plateau that stops most bassists — and build a sound they're proud of, without wasting years on the wrong practice.
The story
Why I coach upright bass
I spent years chasing the wrong things on the upright bass — scales I didn't need, exercises that built no real skill, and a lot of frustration. Once I found the right map, everything changed. The instrument opened up. My sound changed. And my confidence along with it.
That's why I started True Sound Bass Collective. Most adult players aren't missing talent — they're missing a clear, focused path that fits a real life. I help serious students find that path and finally reach the level they've been chasing.
