BACKGROUND
________________________________________________

I've been playing the bass guitar, mainly fretless bass, for 7 years now with most of my experience in gigging. I prefer to play jazz and funk but enjoy any genre if it's done well. Academically I'm very proud to have passed my Grade 8 exam with distinction on 6 string electric bass. In the practical world I have played mainly with rock bands a couple of Jazz quartets and spent the last year as bassist for Newcastle University Jazz Orchestra, my heart is in the jazz and is an area I'm putting a lot of working into (still getting there). I have a lot of experience playing live from playing weekly in my church of 1500+ members. I also have some experience in the recording studio.
I have a classical background and my experience playing cello (grade 7) for 13 years including a couple of international orchestral tours gives me a very good Musical background in theory (Grade 5 pass at Royal College of Music) and music notation reading skills.
I continue to strive to be a better player everyday. Bass does not end at Grade 8 Distinction!!

TEACHING
________________________________________________

I have a real heart for getting into teaching the bass guitar and the few students I've had so far have been very pleased with what I provide, I'm fairly new to teaching so charge a low rate of £8 for 30mins and £15 for 1 hour (will travel for petrol money 20p/mile) So any new students in the South Lincolnshire area please get in contact (I'm actually living in Bourne)- Any standard, any style, get in contact for a friendly fun lesson. The first hour lesson is free so you can meet me and see if it’s the sort of thing you want.
