Tutoring approach

• I can bring a fun, relaxed teaching experience that will inspire enjoyment of the music the student wishes to play. I will offer students appropriate material and/or backing tracks to extend their skills.

• I can teach a wide variety of genres varying from Rock, Pop, Funk, Jazz and Heavy Metal. For Bass, I can teach various fingering, slapping and tapping techniques to be used for the style they enjoy. I can demonstrate how to use those skills for their own bass lines and/or compositions. I can teach music theory, composition and sound reinforcement for all levels.

• I can demonstrate to pupils how to play professionally with confidence and authority in any live situation, but also how to expand the vocabulary of bass lines, performance theory and groove.

• I can teach pupils how to read tab and standard notation effectively, and encourage the further progression of sight-reading techniques. I have a good range of tuition books that will help them study. Teaching levels can be from beginner to intermediate and beyond, as I can teach advance concepts for solo bass.
