Bass Lessons in London

I’m available for bass lessons in London and keen to pass on my enthusiasm for the bass guitar to all abilities and ages.
- Learn….. To Write Bass Lines, Slap, Groove, Improvise, Read Music, Train your Ears and more.

- Learn styles…. Jazz, Soul, Rock, Hip-Hop, Pop, Electro, Punk, Reggae
Location
I teach from my home in North London in the Muswell Hill area (N10 – near Highgate Tube). Pupils come from afar (Liverpool to Kent) so I’m only able to offer lessons based in my own flat.
Experience
As well as playing professionally in the West End for “Thriller Live” and on Tour, I have taught over 150 private students since studying at Leeds College of Music. I have presented Bass Masterclasses in UK Music Schools like the Academy of Music and Sound. I also have an up to date CRB check and can provide references.
Rates
Lessons are currently £30 per 1 hour session. I am able to offer discounts on this rate for advance bookings of 5 hours or more.
