Anyone can learn to play as long as you can physically hold the bass. I approach all styles be it finger, slap or tap if it makes a noise then we’ll explore it.

Students can learn from their own materials or I can provide something suitable.

I approach everything with a view to performing it to an audience, so stage etiquette is always taken into consideration. Any bit of equipment used in playing a bass is a musical instrument in its own right. I hope to include effects, amps, cables and straps into the lesson where possible; everything from what they do, to how to care for them, or even bodge a quick repair to get you through a gig.

I’m always looking for the next new thing and sometimes I find that the most interesting technique or style comes out of the individual who has no perception of how to play a bass “traditionally”. I’m interested in how you express your personality through music and am eager to work it in with the lesson plan.

Rates are set on flexible criteria and lessons are excellent value for money.
