While in second grade, Gregg Shapiro began learning to play piano which started his lifetime love and career in music. While in middle school, Gregg was performing in school talent shows on keyboards and voice. In high school, he began playing bass guitar which became his true passion. During those years, he studied bass guitar with the infamous bass player, Cindy Laupers. At last! His many consistent and focused years of music study had finally paid off which launched him into a rewarding career as a professional bass player.

In addition to being a seasoned performer, Gregg has the experience of being a long-term student with various teachers on various instruments which makes for a well-rounded, patient, visionary teacher. He is a humble man with a big smile who loves sharing and developing the gift of music inside children and adults of all ages. Gregg says, “I truly look forward to becoming a deeper part of the musical community here at Studio 237.”
