As of January 2018, I am no longer accepting bass students. Yep, after 40 years of teaching I am devoting myself full-time to my psychotherapy practice in Chicago and Oak Park. I am still actively performing in theatrical orchestra pits, at private engagements and for the ocassional recording session.

Thank you to the many students who have come through my various studios. I hope you learned a little something about music along the way. I certainly enjoyed hanging out with you to share bits of knowledge and my enthusiasm for this wonderful art form.

Here are some nice COMMENTS from former students.



To find out more about my musical career, please go to my BIO page.

There is some stuff you can download on my BASS ONLINE page.

Here's a page with some BASS RESOURCES material — books on bass technique, theory, and improvising. There's also a list of excellent fake books that feature standard, jazz, latin, pop and funk tunes.

View a sample of my instructional YouTube videos HERE.




JAZZ PLAYERS — please visit my other site for downloadable jazz play-along tracks.





Check out my piano/bass duo CD at CD Baby.

album cover Bill Harrison / Peter Polzak
Mood Swings


This CD is a mix of standards, jazz tunes and one original. Recorded in two short sessions, the disc is mainly first takes, no edits or fixes of any kind. Relax and enjoy!
