About Vaughan Misener
In an article for Toronto Life, reviewer Stuart Broomer wrote, “Electric bassist VAUGHAN MISENER is an intense and skillful player, subtly directing a band with pulsing lines that can suddenly explode in fresh directions.” Vaughan plays Electric Bass and writes music, and has done so to audience and critical acclaim in Boston, New York, Europe, Israel, and Canada. He attended the prestigious Berklee College of Music where he studied with Bruce Gertz and also studied privately in NYC with Jeff Andrews. He has worked with leading musicians including Pete McCann, Donny McCaslin, Robert Bonisolo, Geoff Young, Kevin Dempsey, Barry Romberg, Vito Rezza, Adam Rogers, Johnathan Blake, Joey Calderazzo, Mike Stern and many others. He is highly regarded as an educator who has given clinics at Humber College, Mohawk College, Harris Institute, and York University.

My Book - Harmonic Origins
Harmonic Origins is a repository of scales, arpeggios and exercises both diatonic and non-diatonic with tips for practicing, and how to work effectively with a metronome. It's geared specifically for bass players who want to expand their knowledge of harmony, and improve their mastery of time and technique. It's also a key part of my teaching method.
