Experience
I currently teach at a multitude of locations in the Westchester NY area. From group Choir Classes for kids or Private Upright Bass Lessons for adults I have spent the last 4 years teaching people from ages 4 to 70 and have loved and learned from every lesson I’ve given in one way or another. I also perform throughout the state, from local restaurants in Yonkers to big stages in Times Square’s Sony Hall. I have spent the majority of my life all encompassed in the music that I love to do, and there’s nothing I enjoy more in my profession than sharing that joy with others!
Bio
Aiden F. is a multi-instrumentalist and educator originally from Pittsburgh, PA. Active primarily in the jazz and gospel scenes, he is also an adaptable performer with experience in rock, pop, and a wide range of contemporary styles. His musical journey began at the age of nine under the guidance of his Grandfather, an early mentorship that instilled in him both a deep love of music and a commitment to passing that joy on to others.
Aiden is a graduate of the SUNY Purchase Music Conservatory, where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Jazz Performance.

Since then, Aiden has become an active performer and teacher, bringing his versatility to ensembles across jazz, gospel, and popular music contexts. He is dedicated to making music accessible and inspiring for students of all ages and skill levels, reflecting the same encouragement he received as a young musician.
