See what students are saying:

A master teacher and performer by all standards. There are few people who fully understand our instrument at all angles from the traditional to the eccentric…regardless of genre, Donovan Stokes is the obvious choice! — Jeff Gorham

I’m proud to be a student of yours…the lessons that you taught me from the first day were in large part the bulk of the most crutial things that you can teach a bass player. (perfect hand position, the weight of the bass, the weight of your arm when bowing). I arrived at you very young and naieve. I am still all of those things but thank you so much for your help. — Eric Schatz
