Personal Description:

With over 15 years of professional experience as a musician, I have performed in a wide range of genres and ensembles alongside top artists and bands including, Madness, Chas & Dave and The Blockheads. I enjoy teaching a wide range of music and styles from Jazz, Funk, R&B, Latin/World, Pop and Rock.

Throughout my career, I have toured across the UK, EU and US, playing at well known festivals and world renowned venues. I hold a BMus(hons) in Bass Guitar and have served in HM Royal Marines Band Service for 8 years specialising in Tuba, Double Bass and Bass Guitar.

As a dedicated and experienced tutor, I have been providing private lessons for the past decade. My teaching approach is tailored to your individual needs and wants. We can have fun learning your favourite songs and exploring different genres or, we can dive deeper into harmony and theory, aural skills, sight reading and advanced playing techniques. Whichever route we take, I always ensure you develop a solid technique and strong musical foundation. I strive to create a supportive and encouraging learning environment either from my own home or the students.

I have a large selection of study materials and books, can tailor a practise routine to your schedule (no matter how busy you are!) and use adaptive communication to cater for different learning styles.

If you are interested in learning more, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thanks!

Tutoring Experience:

I have taught students of all abilities privately for over 10 years.

I conduct one-to-one lessons and also group lessons with other tutors and their students.

Tutoring Approach:

My lessons are tailored to suit the students personal aims and goals. The lessons can be light, casual and fun where we can learn your favourite songs by ear and explore different styles of playing. Or, they can focus on sight reading, harmony and theory, scales, work towards an exam and develop advanced playing techniques.

I have a huge collection of invaluable books, resources and music that I use to teach from.
