“Sam Zagnit is an outstanding teacher. I met Sam at Orin O’Brien’s house and I began taking lessons with him as per her recommendation…he was able assess and address the needs of a double bass player using etudes such as Slama, appropriate baroque sonatas such as Vivaldi and later on Eccles and Pergolesi.”

"Sam did not force me to progress faster than I was able to, but he did not allow me to linger on a piece that I was ready to move on from. He was able to demonstrate on the bass the pieces that we worked on with proper sound and technique; his understating of harmony was helpful in the process of analyzing the music we played.” - William, former student
