Chris's feedback about Philip (Intermediate Double Bass tuition near Forest Hill)

Philip is a fantastic teacher, who embodies an infectious joy and dedication for bass playing and a wide range of music. I came to him as jazz bass player looking to improve my arco playing and he has helped me tremendously. I would highly recommend him to anyone else seeking lessons.

Lourenço's feedback about Isabel (Intermediate Double Bass tuition near Muswell Hill)

Isabel is very nice, helpful and responsive. I recommend her anytime.

John's feedback about Dave (Advanced Double Bass tuition near Bungay)

Dave was helpful, friendly and empathetic. My session with him was well-worthwhile. Thanks Dave

Mark's feedback about Ike (Beginner Double Bass tuition near Potters Bar)

I’m working really well with Ike who is focusing in on my playing needs and my jazz interests. Thanks Oke!

Hannah's feedback about William (Beginner Double Bass tuition near Waterlooville)

William is a brilliant tutor! I am learning the double bass as a beginner with no musical knowledge at all and I have already learnt lots in just a few lessons with William! He makes learning fun and I couldn’t recommend William highly enough. Looking forward to my next lesson already.

Jeremy's feedback about Ike (Beginner Double Bass tuition near Hertford)

As a beginner to upright bass making the transition from bass guitar, I had my first lesson with Ike today, which went extremely well. He was very comfortable settling into my skill level and was giving worthwhile tips right from the start. Highly recommended!

Andy's feedback about Rachel (Casual Double Bass tuition near Glasgow)

As a self-taught adult musician who has never taken any lessons, I am likely to be a difficult student in many ways. My first lesson with Rachel however was fantastic, as she put me at ease quickly, turned to diagnosing my many issues, and offered advice and exercises for overcoming them. I am very much lookng forward to continuing with her.

Ran's feedback about Rachel (Beginner Double Bass tuition near Surbiton)

I'm so proud that my two daughters have had the best Double Bass teacher. Rachel gave them interest in Double Bass. Her wonderful communication with students and interesting teaching methods are inseparable from her consistent earnestness and hard work. Especially my youngest daughter is not very fluent in English but Rachel can explain very patiently. Rachel is a very good and excellent teacher hope to do better.

Carlene's feedback about Ike (Beginner Double Bass tuition near Billericay)

My 11 Son really enjoyed his trial lesson with Ike and would love to continue learning from him. My Son wasn't keen on doing online lessons but Ike made it easy. What he was taught in 1 lesson he's never been taught in 1.5 years with his current teacher! Ike focused on the basics like how to position his hands and fingers, exactly what my Son had been missing. Ike is both professional and passionate about the Double Bass. Once our lessons are up with the current teacher we are going to book in weekly lessons with Ike.

Peter's feedback about Ike (Beginner Double Bass tuition near City of London)

Early days. But Ike put me at my ease from the start. As a 75y/o, who started the double bass at music school less than six months ago, I have some bad habits. We are working through them systematically. Fingers now better placed……
