In addition to his teaching duties for over 20 years at Berklee College of Music in Boston (where he is a full Professor), Jim’s expertise in great playing and great pedagogy draw large numbers of students from all over the world to the Stinnett Music programs. Jim Stinnett is one of the world’s foremost instructors of both the electric bass as well as the upright.
