Hi there ! Thanks for stopping by !
I am a
professional bass player on double bass and electric bass
as well as a teacher with over 19 years experience based in
Nottingham in the UK .
I work freelance in many different styles from classical
and jazz, big band, musical theatre,salsa to rock and pop
and just about everything else in between.
I have performed in many different environments such as
theatres, cruise ships, recording studios, jazz gigs,
residencies as well as touring with shows both at home and
abroad.
As well as playing bass I also teach the instrument in
Nottingham at local colleges and privately from my studio
annexe at home, lovingly known as 'The Bass Studio'.
I find that my extensive professional experience and
versatility is definitely an asset in giving students the
necessary information to improve their playing as quickly
and efficiently as possible and have fun at the same time.
If you want to know more, then feel free to have a look
around and if you have any enquiries with regard to booking
a lesson please
Get In Touch for
more information.
Enjoy !
