Pete began playing electric bass in 1988, self-taught for the first two years, he learned to play by ear on a fretless 4 string bass. It was not long afterwards that he progressed to 5 and 6 string fretted and fretless basses as well as double bass.
Pete studied music at Bass-Tech Acton with Rob Burns (BBC session player – Red Dwarf, Black Adder etc.), Musician's Institute Wapping with Rufus Philpot and finally orchestral double bass with Dominic Black (L.S.O.) at Goldsmiths University of London, where Pete studied for his music degree (BMus, Honours).

I’ve had a few tutors over the years but simply being a good player or a guitarist who plays a bit of bass doesn’t necessarily translate into being a good teacher.
Peter is a teacher by profession and it really shows in the way he approaches teaching the bass. He will take the time to listen to what you want and then structure your lessons accordingly using printed course material.
Highly recommended whether you’re a beginner or intermediate player.
