- Tell me about some of your current students.
Lessons are tailored to individual needs. Most lessons balance time spent on technical exercises, repertoire and songs, aural training and music theory. I constantly evaluate student posture and habits to ensure a solid foundation of technique to facilitate musical interpretation and character.
My students are taught to think independently, applying concepts and ideas on their own the other 6 days of the week. My goal is to make sure that my students are self-learning, free thinkers and develop their own unique sound.
Please find Testimonials section for feedback directly from students.

I have been studying the double bass with Salima Barday since June 2011 and I am always amazed at her ability to guide me through the challenges that this imposing instrument confronts one with.
As a physiotherapist I am extremely appreciative of Salima's attention to postural correction from the offset and therefore the prevention of possible repetitive strain type injuries.A teacher should inspire her students and after 3 years I am even more passionate about the instrument now than when I first started.
Lessons with Salima are challenging, thought provoking but always enjoyable.Thanks for your lessons. I've never had music lessons prior to yourself (besides a couple of aborted attempts with others last year) - you really teach very well and focus very quickly and precisely on anything that needs work, but without overloading me. It's really inspiring, and improving on the instrument and also improving musically on some levels (through focus and direction) gives me great joy.
As someone looking to learn music more formally, I find Salima patient and full of useful tricks for remembering things. Before I was muddling through, not really knowing what I needed to learn, now I have some structure and I feel like I'm really making progress. She also lives right by a bus stop so it's easy to get your bass there and back.
