I teach bass guitar, double bass and electric/acoustic guitar lessons from my home in Kew or from students homes all over West London.

- Which subject(s) do you teach?

Over the years I have taught lessons and masterclasses at various institutions such Leeds College of Music and Exeter College as well as maintaining my regular teaching position at Portland Place School in London. For the most part these days I teach Bass Guitar, Double Bass and Acoustic Guitar from my home in Chiswick or at students homes around West London.

Your bass lessons should be a highlight of your week not yet another item on the pile of jobs we all have to work through these days so have fun! That said i'm a strong believer that the foundations should be in place with all my students. Solid technique, a proper understanding of harmony (scales and arpeggios/chord tones) AND its practical applications which so often get overlooked in music education and a basic understanding of music theory will set you up for much more rewarding musical journey than simply learning songs.

Song playing and jamming along with your favourite tracks however is massively important as the experience should always be a musical one and not an academic study but with the correct foundations in place you can now understand why Paul McCartney played that bass line the way he did, how Flea comes up with those slap bass lines or how guys like Victor Wooten and Janeck Gwizdala come up with such beautiful solo bass arrangements.

These are my thoughts, bottom line is it's YOUR lesson. Get in touch and we can make plans to get you smiling every time you sit down to play!
